Hey guys. I'm your host, Tara A. Devlin, and welcome to this week's episode of Kowabana,

true Japanese scary stories from around the internet. Just a quick note before we get started this week.

My latest Todihara files novel, Bakemono, is now available to buy on Amazon.

It's available in both paperback and e-book format, and if you like the idea of snowy villages
