Negative Space

Translated by Kendall Heitzman

Represented in association with  Shueisha Inc and The English Agency (Japan)

A girl moves into her elder sister's apartment without saying a word. They coexist in a state of strange tension; though she shouts at her sister, follows her to the university photography club and watches her increasingly haywire behaviour, the elder sibling cannot break her icy silence.

Then a bizarre skin condition causes the elder girl to retreat further from the world, and the younger girl seemingly disappears - leaving the other's grip on reality to fracture completely.

Infused with uncanny images and a powerful sense of dread, Negative Space is a vividly surreal and haunting novella, published here with the inventively creepy story 'Burnt Offerings'.
