The horror never ends. A monster so terrifying it can’t be spoken of out loud. Pictures are left describing how to kill it, but how do they know they’re interpreting them correctly? A repeating dream that blurs the lines between reality and fiction. How can you tell if you’re truly awake? It all started as a simple game of Kokkuri-san, but then it quickly turned into a nightmare… In Kowabana: ‘True’ Japanese scary stories from around the internet Vol. 7 you’ll find over 100 brand new creepypastas from Japan. From horrific curses to abandoned shrines, terrifying monsters to vengeful ghosts, possessed dolls to unexplainable phenomena, the Kowabana series is dedicated to bringing you the best horror, thriller, suspense, and supernatural stories you’ve never seen before.
