Synopsis "Strange Pictures"

A Japanese mystery horror bestseller, revolving around a series of creepy drawings, in which the reader is the detective - from the Youtube sensation Uketsu

A series of drawings made by a young woman before her death. A child's disturbing picture of his home. A desperate sketch made by a murder victim in his final moments.

Each contains a chilling warning. Each reveals a terrible secret, hidden in plain sight.

Uketsu's eerie mysteries have captivated millions of readers. Can you find the clues in these strange pictures and uncover the sinister truth that connects them all?

He's the biggest crime writer in Japan - now Uketsu's work is set to become a UK sensation... Strange Pictures is a collection of eerie mystery stories, ingeniously connected to each other in ways that only become apparent towards the end of the book... It is certainly an enjoyably discomfiting read: Uketsu has the ability to evoke a sense of mounting unease - Telegraph

A macabre, unsettling box of tricks - Guardian

A creepy little delight of a brainteaser... Innovative and a lot of fun - Observer

I loved it! It has the twists and fair-play style of a Golden Age whodunit, mixed with a wonderfully innovative use of illustrations. Delightfully macabre and fiendishly clever. Seemingly unconnected stories tie themselves into a complicated knot, which Uketsu masterfully unravels - G.T. Karber, author of 'Murdle'

Part Rubik's Cube, part Russian doll, part kaleidoscope and altogether irresistible. Strange Pictures is heady, giddy, genre-blurring stuff and so fizzy with invention and possibility that I almost pity the next novel I read - AJ Finn

This refreshingly original, eerie treat of a puzzle invites the reader to immerse themselves in the darkest of mysteries. So captivating I read it in a day. So disturbing I thought about it all night. Uketsu is a disrupter, the master of quiet horror - Janice Hallett, author of 'The Appeal'

Uketsu understands how to build slow dread in a way that keeps you captivated... I can confidently say that I've never read anything like 'Strange Pictures' before. Uketsu has crafted a unique and engaging novel that will appeal to those armchair detectives out there. The brightly packaged book gives way to a deep and twisty mystery that requires you to put your brain into action and pay close attention - Entertainment Focus

It reveals its structure slowly and teasingly. Cult appeal awaits it - Herald

A labyrinthine and multilayered horror mystery... The entire mystery is wonderfully complex and carefully crafted... This is a story where revelations and new questions wait around every corner, and Uketsu keeps readers guessing until the very end - The New York Times
