Sanaki No Mori

[Machine Translation] I visit Tono, following a letter left by my grandfather, an unsuccessful novelist, who quit his job and became a recluse. I visit Tono, where a mysterious murder took place 80 years ago in an old house. It closely resembles the "murder by curse" described in my grandfather's mysterious novel "Sanaki no Mori".... Is this a coincidence? What did the grandfather know? The mystery that transcends time and space is about to be solved. A new type of horror mystery by a 25-year-old born in the Heisei era. Winner of the 1st Shincho Mystery Award.
