About this book
Summary
Inō Heitarō, a disciplined young samurai of Bingo Province, becomes the focus of a relentless supernatural presence that invades his home and unsettles all who approach it. Determined to endure rather than flee, he sets himself against an intelligence that cannot be struck by steel or driven away by prayer. As apparitions multiply and the boundary between waking life and illusion begins to erode, Heitarō risks not only his household and reputation, but his grip on reality itself. Quietly ominous and atmospheric, The Demon King is a historical supernatural tale rooted in Japanese ghost lore, in the tradition of Lafcadio Hearn and Ueda Akinari.Book information
