Science Fiction
In Japan, ju-on is a deadly curse that takes on a life of its own. Always seeking new victims, itβs a grudge that doesnβt stopβit canβt be stopped. Anyone unfortunate enough to meet up with a ghost killed by the grudge is then killedβ and so it spreads. When a senior citizen outreach volunteer goes to work in a house in a quiet residential area, she soon starts to hear odd noises. As the strange events get more and more ominous, she discovers that some acts of violence can attach themselves to a house and that some evils can reach out and touch youβeven after death. Few stories have infl uenced modern horror as much as Ju-On. The Japanese fi lms set a new standard for horror fi lmmaking and storytelling with their blend of slow-burning terror and nightmarish imagery. The novel is just as chillingβand just as unforgettable.
