Gorgeously grotesque ghost story reviewed

Japanese Gothic, a new horror novel by Kylie Lee Baker, offers a unique blend of ghost and time travel elements. The story follows two protagonists, including an NYU student in 2026 seeking refuge in Japan with his father. The novel contains significant content warnings for graphic gore, domestic violence, self-harm, and mental illness, advising readers to approach it with minimal prior information for the best experience. Baker's previous works, Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng, have also received critical acclaim, setting high expectations for this latest release.
