The Girl from the Well
9.99 €
New mystical series Rin Chupeko, author of the trilogy “Bone Witch”.
A chilling story in a Japanese setting about a ghost girl who craves revenge and a young man who must trust her to save herself.
Okiku is a wandering, restless spirit. For centuries she wandered the world, helping the dead find peace. Three hundred years ago, at a young age, she became a victim herself, and now devours the soul of anyone who has hurt children.
One day, Okiku’s attention is drawn to a strange neighborly rogue teenager, Tark, whose body is completely covered with moving tattoos. People are afraid of him, and only Okiku knows he's not a monster. Tattoos barely contain an evil spirit in his body, and in mirrors he often sees a woman in black robes with a mask on her face. Tarku needs to get rid of the curse, and only Japanese mikos, priestesses-mediums can help him in this. There is only one problem: if the demon dies, so does the master.
A novel inspired by the famous Japanese tale “Bantyo Sarayasiki” about ghosts. It tells the story of Okiko's servant, who is unjustly accused of stealing a precious plate to trick her into becoming a samurai mistress. Okiko again rejected him, for which the girl was tied up and hung over a well. After her death, Okiku became a vengeful spirit that tortured her killer.
Exciting horror, permeated with Japanese myths and legends
