Sinopse

During the hot, dry summer of 1988, in a forgotten neighborhood known as the riverside, seventeen-year-old Shinogaki Toma is entangled in a desperate struggle against what he believes to be his fate to become his sadistic father. Consumed by a fear that he will harm his girlfriend, Toma's downward spiral into depression and instability becomes increasingly intense. Toma's mother left his father long ago and now lives nearby as a fishmonger. Using the hook that replaced the hand she lost during wartime bombings, she guts the eels Toma catches in the sewage-filled river for his father to eat. Things come to a head when Kotoko, his father's live in girlfriend, becomes pregnant and makes the decision to leave the riverside for a better life.
Translated from Japanese by Kalau Almony, Tanaka Shinya's Akutagawa Prize-winning masterpiece, Cannibals, sold over 200,000 copies in Japan and was adapted into a movie by Cannes Film Festival-winner Shinji Aoyama.

    Some stories should never be played. 
    Rewind Video is one of the last surviving video stores in Briar Glen. During an ordinary closing shift, an unlabeled black VHS tape appears in the returns bin — no owner, no rental record, no business being there. Then a routine employee training tape starts playing. 
    Moments later, Eli Mercer and his best friend Cal are trapped inside Hollowmarch: a shifting nightmare of impossible roads, abandoned camps, and forgotten towns, stalked by creatures that don't merely hunt their prey — they study them. Joined by Mae, a mysterious young woman who knows more about Hollowmarch than she remembers, they must survive a world governed by impossible rules and find a way home before it changes them into something that belongs there. 
    Because Hollowmarch doesn't simply want them dead. 
    It wants them to fit in. 
    This audio edition features a dual-voice production: Eli's firsthand account, and the tapes themselves — every orientation reel, training film, and recovered recording delivered in the relentlessly cheerful voice of Rewind Ronnie. When a machine plays a recording in Hollowmarch, you'll hear it the way Eli did. 
    Every path leads somewhere. Every choice costs something. And every exit is wrong. 
    HOLLOWMARCH: Book One. Be kind. Rewind.

    Something ancient lingers beneath the surface of Castringham Hall. In the stillness of the Suffolk countryside, a presence takes root—silent, watchful, and patient. The Ash-tree is M.R. James at his most unsettling: a precise exercise in creeping dread, where history never rests easy and vengeance grows in shadow.
