Deep in the forest stands an abandoned house with a dark history. Various beings visit the strange-looking building known as a haunted spot, as if drawn there.Some who are quietly welcomed flee home, while others return again and again.And still others—decide to settle there. Little encounters gradually broaden the world.The days are a little frightening and incredibly enjoyable. Illustration： A-toyoTwitter: @taidanotori
