Want to know how to open the demon’s gate, or reach a parallel universe?

Think you can withstand the curse of a god hidden deep in a place that’s not supposed to exist?

Would you play Kokkuri-san, knowing it might be the last game you ever play?

In Kowabana: ‘True’ Japanese scary stories from around the internet Vol. 1 you’ll find over 100 raw Japanese tales of terror. These tales, originally posted anonymously to the internet and translated for the first time right here, paint a picture of Japan that most don’t see, and a horror most have never experienced. These are the ‘true’ terrifying tales told around the internet campfire by everyday people; warts and all. You’ll find tales of vengeful ghosts and yurei, murder and suicide, cursed objects and haunted shrines, abandoned buildings and crowded city trains, yokai and much, much more.
