Ju-on Volume 1

In Japan, ju-on is a deadly curse that takes on a life of its own.

Always seeking new victims, it's a grudge that doesn't stop - it can't be stopped.

Anyone unfortunate enough to meet up with a ghost killed by the grudge is then killed - and so it spreads.

When a senior citizen outreach volunteer goes to work in a house in a quiet residential area, she soon starts to hear odd noises.

As the strange events get more and more ominous, she discovers that some acts of violence can attach themselves to a house and that some evils can reach out and touch you - even after death.

Few stories have influenced modern horror as much as "Ju-on".

The Japanese films set a new standard for horror filmmaking and storytelling with their blend of slow-burning terror and nightmarish imagery.

The novel is just as chilling - and just as unforgettable.
