Author: Nashi

A must read for fans of Uketsu (Strange Pictures) and Sesuji (About a Place in the Kinki Region), an unnerving collection of six short stories that unsettle you in face of death. Placed 11th in the “Kono Horror ga Sugoi!” list in Japanese literature in 2024.

“I’m just scared…of falling into hell.”

A certain roof-top amusement park on a certain department store. A stone monument by the mountain road. A 23 minutes, 45 seconds film. A guideline for cultivating plants. The corpse of a ghost. The sounds echoing through an elevator.

As if peeking through a veil, the stories pile onto the next, evoking the most primal human fear…death.
