Synopsis

From USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author Jeremy Bates comes a chilling tale of mystery and horror set in Japan’s notorious Suicide Forest—an eerie place that is easy to enter but, for some, impossible to leave. A Goodreads Choice Awards finalist for horror, perfect for fans of Stephen King.

Just outside Tokyo lies Aokigahara, a sprawling forest known for its breathtaking beauty—and its grim reputation as the world’s most infamous suicide site. According to legend, the restless spirits of those who took their own lives still linger among the ancient trees.

When a group of friends is forced to abandon their climb up Mt. Fuji due to bad weather, they decide to camp overnight in Aokigahara. But what begins as an adventure takes a deadly turn when one of them is found hanged at dawn—making them question whether the legends are more than just stories.
