Japanese Horror Quotes

“Asakawa himself didn't much care if the company made money or lost it. All that mattered to him was whether or not the work was engaging. No matter how easy a job was physically, if it didn't involve imagination, it usually ended up exhausting you.”
― Koji Suzuki, Ring

“You will find me
in the flicker of dying bulbs,
in the rustle of sleepless winds,
in the corridor's caged whispers,
in the door's slow-blooming creak,
in the wail of distant gales,
in night's ink-thick hollows,
in the silver hush of anklets,
in each bead trembling on an orphaned necklace-

for even after I am gone,

your fear will keep me breathing
everywhere light forgets to look.”
― Shion Kurohama, The Midnight Revenants: Asian Ghost Stories—Revenge Thrillers & Paranormal Romance
