Summary

Okiku wants vengeance...and she gets it. Whenever there's a monster hurting a child - the same way she was hurt 300 years ago in Japan - her spirit is there to deliver punishment. But one American boy draws her like no other. The two are pulled into a world of eerie doll rituals and dark Shinto exorcisms that will take them from the American Midwest to the remote valleys and shrines of Aomori, Japan. The boy is not a monster, but something evil writhes beneath his skin, trapped by a series of intricate tattoos. Can Okiku protect him? Or is her presence only bringing more harm?

surprisingly excellent

A great tale. Performed beautifully. I enjoyed the characters, the international experiences and the pace of this book. I kept imagining how amazing it could be as a movie. I would not normally listen to horror, and I'm not sure this was horror but a gripping ghost story nonetheless.

Disturbing, horrifying and absolutely brilliant

I have recently discovered Rin Chupeco and I am in love with her writing. This is one of the best stories I have listened to. The narrator is also fantastic. Give this book a listen. I highly recommend it. Thank you Rin for another wonderful story.

if you like possession stories, this is a must!

this story grabbed me from start to finish and I loved it! the mix of bad and good spirits, Japanese traditions and exorcisms made for a fantastic story that I couldn't put down.

Great story

The performamce was great, easy to distinguish different characters.

Loved the story, especially how it utilised Japanese folklore.

Good elements of horror, but also an interesting story about revenge, redemption and fate.

Brilliant

This is not my kind of book to be honest. I am a crime person. But I can up on my unlimited and I thought why not.

It’s brilliant,well written,well narrated and not as scary as I thought it was going to be. But one I would listen to again.

Amazing

After all the films I've watched, most of which I'm afraid to say I didn't really think much of, this made sense, and I really enjoyed it from being to end. Thank you Audible, yet again.

Highly Haunting Fable

4.5 stars
Just the perfect amount of creepy and haunted.
The audiobook was very well done, and I also really enjoyed the voice of the main protagonist. Definitely one I can see myself rereading for fun.
It was everything I could want from a story about the girl from the well.
