Past Winners
Ouma no Toshi is Akira Hagoshi's legendary fantasy novel. Argentos, an intelligence gatherer attached to the temple of the ancient city Ravataar, investigates a missing priest and murdered citizens, entering a city haunted by dreams of the dead and lingering resentment.
In a city where the dreams of the dead wander, a hidden disturbance behind the oracle is pursued.
A supernatural horror novel set around an old house in a mountain village and the taboos handed down within it. In a mansion cut off from the outside world, youthful desire and family secrets converge toward a ritual-like tragedy.
A taboo sleeping in an old mountain household turns desire in a closed world into a blood-tinged supernatural tale.
A supernatural novel that combines a traveling theater troupe with the atmosphere of ghost stories. Scenes advance like spaces on a sugoroku board, linking itinerant performance, local entanglements, and the fears people carry within them.
Each time the traveling stage opens, the ghost story advances another square and the place reveals its old entanglements.
