Over the course of several years beginning in the 1950s, a man and his oddball family run hotels in New England and Vienna, as unexpected events change their lives forever.

The Forest is a graphic novella told via twenty-five singular illustrations, without words, of which only Swiss artist Thomas Ott is capable. A young boy sneaks away from a family funeral and sinks into the forest depths, where he confronts man's greatest fear and must choose his path. Drawing with a technique called scratchboard, where a white surface is covered with a black layer and scratched away, Ott creates images out of negative space to harrowing effect. In Ott's hands, the medium becomes the perfect vessel for his eerie, horror-imbued morality tales. This gorgeous volume will be printed on heavy art paper with Pantone Black ink to best showcase every exquisite detail of Ott's virtuosic talent. Black-and-white illustrations throughout

日本社會派推理女王 桐野夏生 2021年挑戰心理懸疑全新鉅作 近在身邊的，反而離得最遠。 以散播惡意為手段的人，會醞釀更多惡意，變得越來越醜惡。 你真的了解那曾經深愛過的人嗎? 即使相愛多年，凝視著彼此却有著無法觸及的深淵。 怨恨著擅自消失的丈夫、失去的歲月。 八年前，獨自前去海釣的丈夫一去不回。 而今，疑似他的身影不斷出現。 無聲電話、網路的惡意攻擊、昔日友人隱匿的事實。 無盡的耳語究竟來自何方? 這樣的耳語難道只是令人不悅的絮叨嗎？ 我們在做了無數無可挽回的傻事中慢慢老去，又在得不到原諒的情況下漸漸死去。 早樹再婚後便隨著年長她許多的企業家丈夫克典，住在能一覽無遺相模灣海景的超高級住宅區「母衣山庭園住宅」的雅緻宅邸中。克典的前妻美佐子因病在家中猝逝，早樹的前夫庸介獨自去三浦半島海釣從此下落不明，同是喪偶人士的兩人，再婚生活看似平靜和樂，但夾在與自己年齡相仿的克典子女間的早樹，雖沒有同住，但總有些格格不入。 某日，早樹的手機響起。來電的是關係早已疏遠的庸介母親─菊美，對於再嫁的前媳婦，菊美總以酸言冷語相對，體貼的早樹總以其年老喪夫喪子，對菊美多加忍讓，但這次的來電竟是一反常態的神秘要早樹當面相談，其後更來電催促，不尋常的舉動讓早樹深感不安，猶如庸介的身影始終在周遭揮之不去，想要展開新生活的早樹決心不再逃避，試圖聯絡當年庸介的友人，想找出事件發生前後糾結於心的諸多疑問。 名人推薦 周慕姿（諮商心理師）、 馬欣（作家）、 蔡宇哲（哇賽心理學創辦人兼總編輯）、 盧建彰（導演、作家） 傾耳推薦 我非常喜歡，抱著這書稿，在大樹下草地上，倚著石頭讀。 有些小說讓人驚懼，有些小說讓人安慰，但安慰人的故事，並不是直接跟你說安慰的話，而是那些引人一頭陷入的情節，讓你心裡陪著主角跌宕後，平靜溫暖了起來。 找個日子，拿本好書，安慰自己，這是你可以善待自己的方式。 這世界的風勢很大，你可以，平靜無波。靠自己和這本書。 盧建彰（導演、作家） 精彩！開始讀就停不下來的故事，看完後彷彿在角色間的心裡都走了幾回，在不同角色故事間，看見了自己內心各種脆弱碎片。 無盡的耳語並非來自巨大的惡意，而是內心點滴不安與猜疑所累積而成。見到了人的不完美，在某些情境下總會漾起那一圈惡的漣漪，或許是悲傷、忌妒、憤怒，然而在沒有互相溝通理解的情況下，漣漪將會聚合成洶湧的波濤，在心中不斷衝擊。 最終能停止耳語的不是他人，而是自己理解了他人的脆弱。 蔡宇哲（哇賽心理學創辦人兼總編輯） 好評推薦 日本亞馬遜網站書評 引人深思的傑作 不愧是桐野夏生，洞察獨到、表現力非凡。我很喜歡她另一部《柔嫩的臉頰》，那時讀完以後不禁深思了一番，這一次也在閱讀時忍不住隨著書中情節自言自語。讀完後的感覺十分清爽。 純忠 最後一封信 我差不多讀完所有桐野的作品了吧，但這算是我第一次能夠理解女主角的心情，甚至還對她產生共鳴。一個在丈夫忽然失蹤後，帶著憂悒但還是在人生中繼續前進的女子，終在各種生活磨難後與一位高齡富豪再婚，過著隱居般的日子。誰知道平靜的日子立刻又生波濤，隨即出現的各種難題瓦解了日日靜好。非關強弱，就只是一名普通的女子毫不閃躲地面對難關，這種態度讓人讀來很痛快。 我怕爆雷，不能多說，但那封最後的信令人讀得連眨眼睛都捨不得呢。 忠實顧客 心理推理傑作 被書名吸引而讀，結果發現果然一如書名，全書始終漂散著一股不安氣息。怕爆雷，不能多說，但書中四處都匿藏著耳語，讓人心生猜懼疑心。雖然很不安，但讀完後並不會覺得不舒服，而且雖然書很厚，但很快就讀完了。 這應該可以列為推理傑作了吧？尤其主角選了一位四十幾歲的女性，實在很有桐野的風格。 鷺草

1987 West-German sexploitation film

Sonchai has seen just about everything on his beat in Bangkok's crime-riddled District 8. But the video he's sent anonymously is something else. What he watches is a snuff film, and the person he sees die is Damrong, a woman he once loved and whom he still dreams about. And there's more: a twist at the end that turns the film into murder, and Sonchai into a man obsessed and - it becomes increasingly clear - literally haunted. His investigation forms a dizzying route from his own apartment - where he sleeps next to his pregnant wife while his fantasies deliver him up to Damrong; through the office of his corrupt and worldly wise boss, Captain Vikorn; to the backstreets of Phnom Penh where street gangs are only the most visible threats; to the gilded rooms of the most exclusive men's club in Bangkok, whose members will do anything to protect their identity, and to explore their own darkest fantasies. Caught in a multi-dimensional web of intrigue and deception, Sonchai confronts the terrifying consequences of a lesson he should have learned long ago. In Bangkok nothing is as it seems...
