Scritch Scratch: The Legend of Teketeke
Supernatural Crime/Horror
Everything is Connected
Subway trains, JR trains, express trains; they flow through Saitama like veins; the life-blood of any major city. When a little boy in Urawa Ward goes missing, it is up to rookie officer Sasaki to find him before he becomes one of many 'evaporated people.'
But he gets so much more than he bargained for.
Entangled in a web of deceit far greater than he and his mentor, Sergeant Oda, could have imagined, their lives are derailed by one sure fact: The culprit will not stop unless they make him.
Without any witnesses, without any leads, without evidence of foul play, and without a hope in hell, can Sasaki find the missing boy before more lives are lost to the darkness?

Are You There, Hanako?
Supernatural Horror
Words scar. Rumors Destroy.
Bullies Kill.
It is said that if you go to the bathroom on the third floor and knock on the third stall and ask: "Are you there, Hanako?" She'll drag you down into the depths of hell.
Sixty-year-old teacher, Mrs Madoka Harada doesn't even need to be on the third floor. For decades, her bathroom door has been bolted shut, the wood splitting where an unseen force bangs on it from the inside. Bathrooms are no longer safe.
Nowhere to hide, she is constantly haunted by the events eighteen years ago at her old school, Himitsukyo Elementary School; making her a target to her peers.
They openly despise her, whisper behind her back, and laugh at the OUT OF ORDER signs she posts on the third floor bathrooms. If only they knew.
If only they knew how it all started: with a lonely little girl in her homeroom class who always wore red, old-fashioned clothes from the war; always did her homework, and always tried to ignore the horrible things her classmates said about her.
According to the proverb, "The nail that sticks up gets hammered back down."
But what will happen if the nail decides to hammer right back?

Mary's Calling
Never leave her alone.
Mayu, a lonely little girl in Meiji-era Japan, is given a beautiful doll for her sixth birthday.
Porcelain face, western-style dress with frills, a pearl necklace that shines like a string of tiny stars. And a wind-up crank to make her talk:
“Mary, Mary, quite contrary, How does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row…”
But Mayu and her mother, Hiroe, soon discover that Mary has a mind all her own—and she is not afraid to use it to get what she wants.

Knock, and the door will open.
It's 1960s Ireland and Kathleen Murphy longs to fit in, to be like everybody else. To be rid of the nightmares, the vision, and of her. The one who stalks her, unrelenting.
The Blood Nun.
Just when she thinks she's gone mad, the vision of a nun crying tears of blood leads Kathleen to her new life at The Sisters of Divine Grace and Retribution convent as Sister Katherine, a novitiate nun.
The nun disappears and her nights no longer plagued by nightmares, she things her past is well behind her.
From the moment she arrives, something feels wrong.
Phantom smells of bleach and damp soil, a mouldering teddy bear that just won't leave her alone, and secretive Sisters who refuse to let her clean up the back garden even in her own free time.
With the return of the Blood Nun and visions worse than ever, Sister Katherine is led on a merry chase of discovery.
Has God, in His all-knowing wisdom, called her to the one place she could truly belong? Or has her mind snapped, sending her into the downward spiral of madness?
Seek, and you shall find.
