Hey guys and welcome to a very special episode of Kowabana, true Japanese scary stories from around the internet.

I'm your host Tara A Devlin, and before we get started today,

I have a few exciting pieces of news that I'd like to share with you all. As you may know,

I've been working hard on Koabana Volume 3 over the last few months, and it's now available

for pre-order on Amazon. You can get it for the special price of just 99 cents until Friday, June 1st.

As of recording, we're a top 5 new release in several categories.

There are over 80 stories inside, most of them never seen before, so make sure you grab it

before this offer ends. You can grab the link directly

from koabana.net or just type in Koabana at Amazon. We've also just opened a merchandise store.

You can get t-shirts, mugs, books and a whole range of other stuff with exclusive designs

drawn up just for

Kawabana. You can find that at koabana.threadless.com or find the link on our website. As the

store gets more popular, I'll be adding more designs, but right now you can check out the awesome

kuchisake onna in all her slit-mouthed glory.

Finally, I'll be making a few changes to the Patreon starting from next month.

The biggest change will be early access to all Koabana episodes with your own RSS feed.

You'll be able to get the episodes a few days before everyone else, and depending on the

tier, you'll also have access to bonus episodes and other rewards. Again, you can find that link

at coabana.net. I'd really like to say a big thank you to everyone who has been listening to

and supporting the show so far. A lot of work goes into it

and it makes me really happy that so many people are enjoying it. Thank you. Now I have a very

special announcement at the end of this episode, so don't miss it. But for now, let's get to
