The Hungry Forest

Komorebi no Sato: The Shattered Mirror Cycle “There is no truth—only the stories we cling to while the darkness eats us.” The Hungry Forest She ran from her past. Now, it's hunting her.

Rin Saito, once a celebrated Tokyo journalist, is now a disgraced pariah, her career and reputation in ruins. But the city's shadows offer no escape when a chilling call drags her back to Komorebi, the isolated village of her childhood, a place she desperately tried to forget. Her mother, the village priestess, has disappeared, leaving behind a legacy of cryptic prophecies and a terrifying secret: "The forest is hungry."

In Komorebi, silence is a weapon, and the ancient Guardian Trees watch with predatory eyes. As Rin fights to uncover the truth behind her mother's vanishing, she confronts a village gripped by fear, whispered legends of a shattered mirror, and a forest with an insatiable appetite. Caught in a terrifying cycle of sacrifice and ancient power, Rin must race against time to unravel Komorebi's mysteries and escape the hungry darkness before it consumes her too. A literary audio series blending psychological horror, speculative folklore, and metafictional experimentation. Prepare to be devoured by The Hungry Forest, the pulse-pounding first book in The Shattered Mirror Cycle, where folklore and fear collide in a desperate battle for survival.
