Broken Shimenawa

A short novelette recommended for fans of J-horror, Shin Megami Tensei and Liminal Spaces.

Description:
Tortured by intrusive thoughts and memories of his missing girlfriend,  graduate student/part-time instructor Junya Kanzaki hides his inner turmoil from the safe and comfortable world of modern suburban Japan. However, when a friend invites him on a "kimodameshi" visit to an abandoned mall he will come face-to-face with the embodiment of all his distorted psychology, the evil reflection that exists beyond the threshold of the mirror.
