If you’re looking for something truly unsettling to read this Halloween, Killing Stalking might be what you’re after, but be warned, this is not a light or easy read.

The Review
The story follows Yoon Bum, a quiet and socially awkward man who’s endured years of abuse. He becomes obsessed with Oh Sangwoo, a charming and popular student who, beneath the surface, hides a horrifying secret—he’s a serial killer. When Bum breaks into Sangwoo’s house out of obsession, things take a horrifying turn. What follows is a twisted, violent relationship built on manipulation, fear, and psychological control.
Killing Stalking dives deep into psychological horror. It’s not scary in a monster-under-the-bed way; it’s scary because of how real and uncomfortable it feels. The manhwa shows how trauma and obsession can warp a person’s sense of love and control. It doesn’t shy away from abuse, both physical and emotional, and it forces readers to sit with that discomfort.
The dynamic between Bum and Sangwoo is messy, disturbing, and far from romantic. Despite what some fans have interpreted, Koogi has made it clear that this isn’t a love story—it’s a horror story about obsession, manipulation, and the mental toll of trauma.
Even with all its darkness, Killing Stalking succeeds because of how effectively it captures fear and tension. The artwork is striking, and the pacing keeps readers constantly uneasy. Every panel feels heavy, and the emotions of the characters—especially their instability—are strong. It’s a psychological thriller that doesn’t let you look away, no matter how uncomfortable it gets.
Final Thoughts on Killing Stalking
If you’re a fan of stories that push boundaries and explore the darkest sides of human behavior, Killing Stalking can be a gripping Halloween read. It’s perfect for those who appreciate psychological horror that doesn’t hold back.
But if you’re looking for a romantic BL or something emotionally uplifting, this isn’t it. The series deals with heavy themes like abuse, trauma, and sexual violence, and it’s not for readers who are sensitive to that kind of content.
Killing Stalking is one of those stories you won’t forget. It’s dark, uncomfortable, and deeply psychological exactly the kind of horror that makes your skin crawl. Just make sure you’re in the right headspace before diving in, because once you start, it’s hard to look away.
