Set between fact and folklore, Aokigahara: The Forest That Follows explores Japan's most feared forest through the voice of a believer who's never set foot there. Combining spiritual observation, psychological insight, and field research filtered through imagination, this non-fiction narrative examines the deeper truth beneath the myths: why people disappear, what follows them out, and why the silence never really ends.

From forgotten paths to rope lines and echoes that don't return, this is not just a book about ghosts — it's a book about belief, grief, and the places we carry with us.

Includes a glossary of spiritual terms, a cultural timeline, crisis resources, and a full breakdown of myth versus reality.
