Synopsis "Strange Houses"

A Japanese mystery bestseller, revolving around a series of unsettling floorplans, in which the reader is the detective - from the Youtube sensation Uketsu

A mysterious windowless room on a house's floorplan hints at a hideous secret

A young girl suspects that her cousin's seemingly accidental death was the result of a sinister family tradition

Can you uncover the dark secret of these strange houses? When you do, an unforgettable truth will be revealed.

Deliciously unsettling and refreshingly unique, Strange Houses will lure you in and keep you captive with every clever twist - Kristen Perrin, author of 'How to Solve Your Own Murder'

Uketsu is brilliant, disturbing and utterly, wildly entertaining, a great artist, a great storyteller and a great trickster - Bidisha

Praise for Strange Pictures - .

Part Rubik's Cube, part Russian doll, part kaleidoscope and altogether irresistible. Strange Pictures is heady, giddy, genre-blurring stuff and so fizzy with invention and possibility that I almost pity the next novel I read - AJ Finn

This refreshingly original, eerie treat of a puzzle invites the reader to immerse themselves in the darkest of mysteries. So captivating I read it in a day. So disturbing I thought about it all night. Uketsu is a disrupter, the master of quiet horror - Janice Hallett, author of 'The Appeal'

I loved it! It has the twists and fair-play style of a Golden Age whodunit, mixed with a wonderfully innovative use of illustrations. Delightfully macabre and fiendishly clever. Seemingly unconnected stories tie themselves into a complicated knot, which Uketsu masterfully unravels - G.T. Karber, author of 'Murdle'

A superlative puzzle made of multiple parts that interconnect in unexpected ways, told inventively through pictures and text. Every twist and turn steepens the sense of foreboding. Original, intricate and deeply unsettling. I've never read anything like it - Alex Pavesi, author of 'Eight Detectives'

Absolutely loved this clever little banger. An addictive murder mystery that unfolds like pointillism on the page: only when you reach the end, step back and view the bigger picture does each of its parts click into place. Exceptional! - Alice Slater, author of 'Death of a Bookseller'

An intricately woven, at times unsettling, but always mesmerising piece of work - Ian Moore, author of Death and Croissants

An eerie reading experience like we've never seen before - Shueisha News
