Ju-On Novel

Description

In Japan, ju-on is a deadly curse that takes on a life of its own. Always seeking new victims, it’s a grudge that doesn’t stop — it can’t be stopped. Anyone unfortunate enough to meet up with a ghost killed by the grudge is then killed — and so it spreads... When a senior citizen outreach volunteer goes to work in a house in a quiet residential area, she soon starts to hear odd noises. As the strange events get more and more ominous, she discovers that some acts of violence can attach themselves to a house and that some evils can reach out and touch you — even after death. Few stories have influenced modern horror as much as Ju-on. The Japanese films set a new standard for horror filmmaking and storytelling with their blend of slow-burning terror and nightmarish imagery. The novel is just as chilling — and just as unforgettable.
