Our view
“About a Place in the Kinki Region” is a creepy found-document horror novel that leaves the detective work to the reader. Sesuji’s book gathers articles, interviews and other fragments collected after an editor at a paranormal magazine vanished while digging through old issues. Some readers praise how genuinely unsettling it is and how the scattered clues let them work out the truth themselves. Ideal for fans of horror built like an investigation.

About the book
My friend is missing. When he disappeared, he’d been working on a magazine about the paranormal—his first real job as an editor. With almost no budget, he’d resorted to digging through back issues and unused research material, looking for inspiration. As he did, a terrifying truth began to emerge about a certain place in the Kinki region. I have collected the relevant articles, interviews, and other materials in this book. And once you have understood everything, I would like to ask for your cooperation. I hope you will get in touch.
