Notes
1 Ghost: A lot of the scares in this graphic novel are visual, but there is a time factor to the story that is both trippy and creepy.

Notes
2 Ghosts: Part of the horror lies in the use of Japanese folklore and a strange sickness. The rest is in this story's foundation of the real history of Japanese American internment camps in the US.
