Sinopsis

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.

    Book 5: Kate Morgan Thrillers 
     
    Some cases are clear-cut and make sense, and then there’s this one. Two women, avid joggers, out for a hard Stanley Park Fun Run. Both dead. Both at the same time. Both on the popular park trail. It’s rough when trail running and up hills, but the killer had a unique method for taking out his victims—one that doesn’t leave any forensic evidence. Detective Kate Morgan focuses on the victims, until two more are killed.  
     
    Awakening in the night with horrible nightmares, Simon curses his life and hates having ever traveled down this strange pathway, particularly when the visions come out of nowhere. In this case a much more personal element terrifies him.  
     
    As Kate gets closer to finding out the truth, she’s also on the same path to becoming the next victim.

    Rochester, NY, October 1932. Clara Dawson doesn't believe in ghosts, so when she accepts an invitation to a Halloween gathering at her friend's new home, she expects nothing more than a few cocktails, a spooky séance for laughs, and a chance to forget her troubles. 
    But the evening takes a turn. 
    It begins with a glimpse of a strange man in the window. A child's toy appears where no child has been. Then, a flicker of something just out of sight, watching from the shadows. 
    Clara can't explain what's happening, and those around her don't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary. But as the evening wears on, she's drawn deeper into a ghost story that might not be a story at all. 
    A Sinister Séance is a slow-burning gothic ghost story steeped in autumnal atmosphere, vintage glamour, and eerie encounters. This novella can be read as a standalone or as the haunting introduction to the Clara Dawson paranormal mystery series. Includes a bonus spooky short story set in the Appalachians!

    Some antiquities carry shadows that can never be wiped away. 
    In this chilling masterpiece of atmospheric dread, ordinary scholars, curious collectors, and unsuspecting travelers find themselves crossing the invisible threshold between the mundane world and unspeakable terror.

Unearth the sinister secrets of an ancient ash tree filled with giant, venomous spiders, and follow a naive orphan into a stately manor harboring dark, sacrificial rites. The past is not dead—it is merely waiting to be discovered. 
    Listeners seeking elite Horror / Ghost Stories will be utterly captivated by this classic audiobook. M. R. James practically invented the antiquarian ghost story, blending academic settings with terrifying, supernatural macabre.
