About the book

From USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author Jeremy Bates comes a tale of mystery and horror set in Japan's ancient Suicide Forest, a place that is easy to enter but, for some, impossible to leave. Goodreads Choice Awards finalist for horror. For fans of Stephen King.Just outside of Tokyo lies Aokigahara, a vast forest and one of the most beautiful wilderness areas in Japan...and also the most infamous spot to commit suicide in the world. Legend has it that the spirits of those many suicides are still roaming, haunting deep in the ancient woods.When bad weather prevents a group of friends from climbing neighboring Mt. Fuji, they decide to spend the night camping in Aokigahara. But they get more than they bargained for when one of them is found hanged in the morning—and they realize there might be some truth to the legends after all.Praise for Jeremy Bates:"A master storyteller!" "Best book I've read to date" "Old-school horror story reminiscent of Stephen King" "Perfect for Laymon fans!" "Definitely recommend to all fans of modern horror" "Any Stephen King or Dean Koontz fan will love it" "I sort of fell into Jeremy Bates by accident, and I'm so glad I did. He's one of my new favorite writers, and I urge everyone to check him out" "The most chilling book I’ve ever read!"

    Das Buch war für mich eine Achterbahnfahrt zwischen… ich breche es ab und ich will wissen wie sich die ganze Sacha auflöst. Die erste Hälfte war für mich sehr zäh. Der Autor hat einige kleine Nebenstorys eingefügt. Ich finde 200 Seiten weniger hätte der Geschichte ganz gut getan. Sorry 🤷🏻‍♀️. Als jedoch das Sterben anfing, bzw. das Chaos ausbrach war ich wieder dabei. Dieser Teil hat mich abgeholt und festgehalten. Das Ende hab ich verschlungen und es hat mich überzeugt. Insgesamt wurde in dem Buch die japanische Lebensweise im Bezug auf Familie, Anerkennung etc. dargestellt. Mich hat das etwas nachdenklich hinterlassen, was ich auch sehr gut fand.

    Am Anfang sehr lahm, aber dann …!

    Zu allererst es war kein Horror Buch sondern ein Thriller, wie die anderen hier schon schreiben. Am Anfang fand ich es sehr langatmig & auch bisschen langweilig. Aber Ende nahm es echt Fahrt auf & ich konnte es nicht mehr weg legen. Echt eine spannende Geschichte dann bis zum Schluss.
