A collection of novellas inspired by Japanese urban legends
Are You There, Hanako?
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.
Coming 2027
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
​
​
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 sing:
​
“Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row…”
​
But as strange, often violent events unfold and Mary starts to scare Mayu's mother, Hiroe, they all learn that Mary has a mind of her own and she's not afraid to use it to get what she wants.
​
...Or whoever she doesn't like.
