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 rabbit hole 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.
