🤯Holy Smokes!
I'm so lucky to have been part of bringing Uketsu's books to English reading audiences. How wonderful it is that people are enjoying them!
💬Waterstones says: ‘Offering a reading experience that is as eerie as it is unique, this magnificently macabre and fiendishly clever interactive Japanese mystery revolves around nine bizarre pictures full of clues.’
