About this listen

Okiku wants vengeance...and she gets it. Whenever there's a monster hurting a child - the same way she was hurt 300 years ago in Japan - her spirit is there to deliver punishment. But one American boy draws her like no other. The two are pulled into a world of eerie doll rituals and dark Shinto exorcisms that will take them from the American Midwest to the remote valleys and shrines of Aomori, Japan. The boy is not a monster, but something evil writhes beneath his skin, trapped by a series of intricate tattoos. Can Okiku protect him? Or is her presence only bringing more harm?

A great tale. Performed beautifully. I enjoyed the characters, the international experiences and the pace of this book. I kept imagining how amazing it could be as a movie. I would not normally listen to horror, and I'm not sure this was horror but a gripping ghost story nonetheless.

surprisingly excellent

So scary I didn't read it at night. And yes, I loved it, not because of the scaryness, but because its a fabulous story, we'll written, and we'll narrated.

Scary, yet brilliant!

I absolutely loved this book. Rin Chupeco is a very talented writer indeed, writing a book of wit and originality, respectful of the cultural origins of the tale, this story of Okiku is at times heartbreaking but yet uplifting. It is a horror novel but not exploitatively so, as so many are these days, seemingly competing for who can be the most shocking and gory. No, this one is a very sophisticated telling of Okiku's tale, with love, joy, pain, redemption, realisation, acceptance. All of that packed into a very classy novel.

A wonderful listen too, with perfect narration by Andi Arndt, who I had not come across before this book. Thoroughly enjoyable, and I definitely plan to listen to it again.

I loved this story as it combined my love of Japanese folklore, ghost stories and horror. Brilliantly written and read, it built well and delved into darkness often not acknowledged. I was especially moved by the scene at the house which seemed to provide the ‘justice’ for Junko Furuta which we all wished could have happened to those boys. Thank you.
