"Uketsu is a disrupter, the master of quiet horror."-Janice Hallett, internationally bestselling author of The Appeal
"Delightfully macabre and fiendishly clever. Seemingly unconnected stories tie themselves into a complicated knot, which Uketsu masterfully unravels."-G. T. Karber, author of the national bestseller Murdle
The spine-tingling "triumphant international debut" (Publishers Weekly starred review) that has taken Japan by storm-an eerie fresh take on mystery-horror in which a series of seemingly innocent pictures draws you into a disturbing web of unsolved mysteries and shattered psyches.
An exploration of the macabre, where the seemingly mundane takes on a terrifying significance. . . .
A pregnant woman's sketches on a seemingly innocuous blog conceal a chilling warning.
A child's picture of his home contains a dark secret message.
A sketch made by a murder victim in his final moments leads an amateur sleuth down a rabbithole that will reveal a horrifying reality.
Structured around these nine childlike drawings, each holding a disturbing clue, Uketsu invites readers to piece together the mystery behind each and the over-arching backstory that connects them all. Strange Pictures is the internationally bestselling debut from mystery horror YouTube sensation Uketsu-an enigmatic masked figure who has become one of Japan's most talked about contemporary authors.
Translated from the Japanese by Jim Rion
"I loved it! It has the twists and fair-play style of a Golden Age whodunit, mixed with a wonderfully innovative use of illustrations. Delightfully macabre and fiendishly clever. Seemingly unconnected stories tie themselves into a complicated knot, which Uketsu masterfully unravels." - G. T. Karber, author of the national bestseller Murdle

"A superlative puzzle made of multiple parts that interconnect in unexpected ways, told inventively through pictures and text. Every twist and turn steepens the sense of foreboding. Original, intricate and deeply unsettling. I've never read anything like it." - Alex Pavesi, Author of The Eighth Detective
"Horror and mystery fans will be eager to explore this thrilling import." - Booklist
"An intricately woven, at times unsettling, but always mesmerizing piece of work." - Ian Moore, Author of Death and Croissants
