Kuronami
Kuronami: 9 Japanese Horror Stories Every 243 years, an ancient force awakens from the depths: a black wave known as Kuronami, rising mercilessly, sweeping away and devouring all who dare to challenge its power... In this groundbreaking collection of 9 stories, Nicolás Francis—acclaimed for his unparalleled style—masterfully blends Japanese horror with a personal perspective, opening a door to the darkest and most secret corners of the human soul. From a tormented ronin confronting a millennia-old curse to a videoblogger awakening a terrifying paranormal force, Kuronami unveils the hidden horror in every shadow, every mountain shrouded in dark mysteries, and every dream turned into a nightmare. Fans of Junji Ito will find an equally disturbing and captivating exploration of the supernatural and grotesque within these pages. Each story includes an original illustration that captures the essence of the psychological terror and deep mystery of each tale, immersing readers in a unique visual and literary experience. For fans of the most unsettling horror, Kuronami not only inaugurates a new genre but also redefines what fear truly means. ***** Nicolás Francis (Buenos Aires, 1988) Journalist and graphic designer. His horror stories are deeply influenced by the works of H.P. Lovecraft, Clive Barker, Stephen King, and Ray Bradbury, as well as the films of John Carpenter, Wes Craven, and Sergio Leone.
