From a haunted medical examiner to a discarded financial analyst from a coroner's broken marriage to an ambulance driver's final night shift the chain of deaths stretches across a single relentless week. One by one lives unravel erased in the margins of a city too indifferent to notice.</p><p>David Chen estranged brother to one of the vanished is the first to see it; a darkness moving through the dead and those left behind. A presence older than the city itself feeding from grief and anonymity leaving no witnesses willing to remember. As David races to expose the truth he finds himself trapped in a chain that tightens with every breath every heartbeat every name crossed from the ledger. The only way to stop it is to break the pattern. But in a city built on forgotten bodies and discarded names nothing breaks clean.</p><p>A bleak atmospheric descent into urban horror Jigoku is a story of death's appetite the quiet cruelty of cities and the terrible necessary price of survival.</p>
