This psychological horror unravels the unsettling experiences of a young family, innocently enticed by the seemingly idyllic vistas of their new apartment. Situated beside a graveyard, the building quietly harbors an insidious evil, nudging them down a path of inexplicable, panic-inducing occurrences. With each passing day, the walls of this pristine apartment close in bit by bit, trapping them against the bygone souls that echo from beyond the grave. With the complex interplay of nail-biting suspense and thrilling horror, this masterpiece will challenge the bravest of readers. Its haunting narrative, intricately woven around the domestic and psychological aspects of horror, intensifies with each page turn, culminating with a conclusion that will make you think twice before ever going into a basement again.Product Details

"Strange, mysterious, a little unsettling, but mostly it's just good." --Joe R. Lansdale, author of Paradise Sky
"Claustrophobic and chilling, Mariko Koike's novel will slowly wrap its icy finger around your neck, while the last thirty pages will have you holding your breath. Highly recommended!" --Ronald Malfi, author of Little Girls "This incredibly creepy story seeps into your bones like that basement chill, searing imagery into your brain that's so startling, your nightmares - and elevator rides - will never be the same." --Maria Alexander, Bram Stoker Award winner and author of Mr. Wicker
