Description
Horror illustrator and YouTube sensation Uketsu invites us into a world of the odd and the macabre in Strange Pictures. An enigmatic thriller that allows readers to solve the mystery right alongside the narrator, this is a perfect puzzle of a story.
“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.

Strange Pictures by Uketsu
I haven't read the book yet but i just want to write a review with this website's service. This is my first time purchasing a physical book. I was having trouble looking for a shop, page, or website that legitimately sells this book. I happened to see a post on tiktok of a girl who introduced this website & (i think) claims that the books here are legit brand new & cheaper. I immediately check if this book was available on this website, and it is available! I was really happy & excited & immediately place an order. It came after 3weeks. I am aware that it would took long before the book to arrive & it's fine with me. I was very thankful for this website & the whole Empire Book Store team. They guided & keep me updated with my purchase. They are very accommodating & kind in answering request & inquiries! I was really happy with my purchase & the service! ☺️❤️ Looking forward for my next transaction with them sometime in the future !!
