\"Is this person already dead...? A terrifying tale of home caregiving begins. Behind the door, lying in bed, is a grotesque figure... Akane Kuritani, a new caregiver, arrives at a secluded Western-style mansion deep in the mountains to provide live-in care for Hiwako Miyazono, the bedridden owner. Hoping for a fresh start, Akane is shocked to find Hiwako emanating a putrid smell, with discolored skin and a burlap sack over her face, looking nothing less than a \'corpse.\' The nature of the care she must provide is clearly abnormal... Based on a Kadokawa Horror Bunko novel, a terrifying nursing care horror tale begins.

The spine-chilling influence of Japanese horror cinema has taken hold in Western audiences with hit films like The Ring that are based on Japanese films adapted from classic manga stories. And the master of horror manga is Umezu Kazuo-known as the \"Stephen King of Japan,\" with several of his stories being adapted to film-and Dark Horse Manga is proud to bring his Scary Book horror anthology to Western readers for the first time. This first volume, Reflections, presents two feature-length tales of terror. In \"Mirror,\" a narcissistic girl\'s reflection begins to take mean-spirited command of her life; and in \"Demon\'s Revenge,\" a sadistic samurai master bent on seeking retribution for his son\'s injuries finds the tables of vengeance turned against him.
