Strange Buildings

Uketsu

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"Uketsu's strange riddles are chilling and addictive" - R. F. Kuang, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel and Yellowface

From the bestselling author of Strange Houses and Strange Pictures comes a new unsettling mystery--eleven strange buildings, each with its own twisted floor plan and eerie backstory, and a terrible secret that connects them all.

A lonely hut in the woods.

A murder house.

A hidden chamber.

A mysterious shrine.

A home in flames.

A nightmarish prison.

After receiving multiple tips from his devoted readership, a writer fascinated by the occult put together eleven case files, each featuring its very own strange building. Each of the eleven structures in this book has a floor plan that conceals a disturbing architectural quirk: from disappearing rooms to apartments with no means of escape. Each buildings tells its own chilling story. And each is part of a grander puzzle. Look closely . . . and you'll see that everything is connected. All leading to a revelation so horrifying you won't want to believe it.

Millions of readers have become addicted to solving Uketsu's dark mysteries. Strange Buildings is the strangest, and darkest, of them all.

Translated from the Japanese by Jim Rion
