The internet is full of creepypastas, cryptid sightings, tales of paranormal activity, and unsolved disappearances. These are mostly rumors and pranks fueled by trolls—entertainment. But the unlucky few learn the hard way that some legends are true. Many of these unfortunate souls are doomed, but their luck may change if they cross paths with the boy in the red hood. He roams from town to town and appears wherever strange things occur. Is he a light in the dark? Or living proof that monsters are all too real…? Introducing… the horror collector.
Four volumes in the Horror Collector novel series, which features a unique and engaging blend of mystery and horror, have currently been released with more on the way. This sounds like a fun, spooky, supernatural horror series that the Japanese – and Asia in general – are very good at creating. Asian folklore and horror have traditions very different from Western Judeo-Christian beliefs and have a deeper reach in the land, Buddhist beliefs and, in the latest iteration, urban legends that school kids like to tell each other. Horror Collector the manga will be priced at $13.00 USD / $17.00 CAN. JY is thrilled to be able to continue adding and adapting creative stories for young readers in varied formats so that can be enjoyed in all forms.
