In a captivating blend of chills and creativity, this bestseller has quickly escalated to prominence in Japan's literary scene. The narrative unfolds through a series of eerie and surreal images that seem to defy reality. As the characters wrestle with the haunting consequences of these strange pictures, readers are drawn into a world where the lines between the ordinary and the supernatural blur.

The authors, Uketsu and Jim Rion, craft a haunting atmosphere that engages the senses, making each scene resonate with an unsettling familiarity. Their storytelling invites readers to explore the depths of fear that lie beneath the surface of everyday life. With every turn of the page, there is an allure of mystery that keeps the audience guessing, pushing them to confront their own perceptions of the unknown.

This fresh take on horror not only entertains but also prompts introspection, leaving a lasting impact on those brave enough to delve into its pages.

INCREDIBLE???????It was simply MAJESTIC how every little detail of the story fit together so perfectly, and at the same time made no sense at all. Absolutely mind-blowing, I loved it.

Mytery and thriller in one. there are some parts that you thought you guessed the plot but then you were wrong. It's very engaging and very attention grabbing. You would want to finish the book to know all the answersI thought it was just a set of stories that weren't connected but, surprise surprise, it is!

At the second chapter, I felt like it would just be 4 separate stories, which I was not disappointed by but I would've loved a BIG story with multiple 'strange pictures'. Uketsu did not (!) disappoint. How the 4 stories are connected is amazingly written and I kept thinking 'wait so if this person is actually also that person, then ....'. Looking forward to reading 'Strange houses' !!
