Hello, reader.
My name is Soro Yokai, and before you step into this story, I need to offer you a sincere warning.
This novel follows a girl named Yuki as she is stalked by the infamous Kuchisake-Onna—the Slit-Mouthed Woman—one of the most unsettling figures in Japanese urban legend. What you’re about to read is not just a tale spun from imagination. Much of it is adapted from nightmares, from whispered warnings, and from the kind of fear that lingers long after you wake up.
These pages explore dread, obsession, and the feeling of being watched when no one should be there. Some scenes may be intense or emotionally heavy. If at any point you need to pause, breathe, or step away, please do so. Your comfort matters.
But as you move through Yuki’s journey—no matter how difficult or frightening it becomes—remember this: it is still a story. A crafted echo of fear, not the fear itself. You are safe, and you are in control of when to turn the page.
Thank you for reading, and for choosing to walk with Yuki into the shadows.
