Sweet Home, originally known in Korean as 스위트홈 (Seuiteu-hom), is a legendary horror thriller that redefined the monster genre for a global audience. Written by Carnby Kim and illustrated by Youngchan Hwang—the duo behind Bastard—this series is a claustrophobic masterpiece that explores the thin line between humanity and monstrosity. It has earned worldwide acclaim for its terrifying creature designs and its relentless, high-stakes atmosphere that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.

The story follows Cha Hyun-su, a suicidal high school recluse who loses his entire family in a tragic accident and moves into the decaying Green Home apartment complex. Just as he prepares to end his own life, the world descends into madness as people suddenly begin transforming into grotesque monsters that reflect their deepest, darkest desires. Trapped inside the building with a group of eccentric survivors, Hyun-su must fight not only the horrors lurking in the hallways but also the monster growing within himself. It is a grueling battle for survival where the greatest threat isn't just the creatures outside, but the "monsterization" process triggered by human greed and despair.

What makes Sweet Home a standout is its profound psychological depth and the disturbing, highly original designs of the monsters, such as the "Protean" and the "Blind Monster." The art perfectly captures the grim, grimy aesthetic of a world in collapse, while the narrative forces readers to question what truly makes someone a monster. This is a must-read for fans of psychological horror and survival dramas who want a story that is as emotionally draining as it is terrifyingly action-packed.
