Feature
★ Five horror writers team up for an all-new collaboration!
Manabu Kaminaga (“Psychic Detective Yakumo” series: 7 million copies; total works: 10 million)
Sesuji (debut series: 1 million copies; No.1 in “This Horror Novel Is Amazing! 2024” domestic edition)
Ichii Sawamura (Japan Horror Novel Award winner; simplified Chinese edition of “It Comes” published)
Kuroshiro (winner of the “Yu” Ghost Story Literature Award)
Raido Azumi (winner of the Yokomizo Seishi Mystery & Horror Award Readers’ Prize).
★ “If this love comes true, I‘ll surely die.” Five stories: a woman met after losing a lover, a zombie panic caused by romantic feelings, strangeness in an affair partner’s house, memories connected by a father‘s last words, a colleague in love with a ghost. It is not simply horror plus romance. Curses, infection, last words, ghosts—each kind of “love” becomes a doorway to horror.
★ For readers who enjoy Otsuichi, Natsuhiko Kyogoku, and Japanese ghost stories and urban legends.
