Each Tuesday I post a short episode (chapter) from my new horror novel "The Yōkai." Readers can either subscribe for free to receive the weekly episodes by email, or they can go to my Substack page and read the episodes online: https://jonobergh.substack.com/p/the-....
Synopsis: Upset over the destruction of their environment, a gang of yōkai demons appears before shy student Asami, demanding a ghost story nightly to spare her life. The catch? Each story must include an actual person who dies. Asami confronts a moral dilemma, forced into choosing who lives and who dies, until she teams up with a ragtag group of college friends, a female wizard, and a shapeshifting cat to fight back.
The plot abounds with demons and legends from Japanese folklore, actual supernatural locations, and individual horror stories embedded in the plot. I hope you'll check it out.
