«Uketsu is a disrupter, the master of quiet horror.»—Janice Hallett, internationally bestselling author of The Appeal
“Delightfully macabre and fiendishly clever. Seemingly unconnected stories tie themselves into a complicated knot, which Uketsu masterfully unravels.”—G. T. Karber, author of the national bestseller Murdle
The spine-tingling “triumphant international debut” (Publishers Weekly starred review) that has taken Japan by storm—an eerie fresh take on mystery-horror in which a series of seemingly innocent pictures draws you into a disturbing web of unsolved mysteries and shattered psyches.

    Uketsu delivers a masterclass when it comes to crafting subtle horror and psychological dread. Strange Pictures is filled with curious imagery and a carefully interwoven web of unsettling mysteries. Each chapter unfolds like a puzzle and invites the reader to unravel its mysteries alongside the characters. Through a series of images and layered backstory, Uketsu draws the reader deeper into a labyrinth of hidden messages, deductive reasoning and shocking revelations.

    From the very first page, this book gripped me and dragged me right down into the heart of its twisted mysteries and holding my attention to the very end. What started out as a blind read turned out to scratch an itch on my brain I didn’t know I had.

        When I was little, of course, it was normal for parents to hit their children. My own mother did it. And that’s exactly why, when I became a mother, I swore I would never do the same.

          If the parents of small children cried every time they had to be strict, they’d weep themselves dry on a daily basis.
