*Hardcover*

In this lyrical, wildly inventive horror novel interwoven with Japanese mythology, two people living centuries apart discover a door between their worlds.

October, 2026: Lee Turner doesn't remember how or why he killed his college roommate. The details are blurred and bloody. All he knows is he has to flee New York and go to the one place that might offer refuge--his father's new home in Japan, a house hidden by sword ferns and wild ginger. But something is terribly wrong with the house: no animals will come near it, the bedroom window isn't always a window, and a woman with a sword appears in the yard when night falls.

October, 1877: Sen is a young samurai in exile, hiding from the imperial soldiers in a house behind the sword ferns. A monster came home from war wearing her father's face, but Sen would do anything to please him, even turn her sword on her own mother. She knows the soldiers will soon slaughter her whole family when she sees a terrible omen: a young foreign man who appears outside her window.

One of these people is a ghost, and one of these stories is a lie.

Something is hiding beneath the house of sword ferns, and Lee and Sen will soon wish they never unburied it.

    FAQs

    How Do You Ship Orders?

    I take great care in making sure that all candles reach their forever homes in perfect condition. Each candle is wrapped in tissue paper and bubble wrap to protect both the labels and the glass. I also insulate the package very well with either peanuts or packing paper.

    I ship everything via USPS Priority or Ground Advantage. I also use UPS depending on the weight and dimensions of your order.

    If you receive your candle in less than perfect condition, be sure to contact me immediately at info@getfictional.com. I can send you a new candle or refund your purchase entirely. 

    How Long Does It Take to Receive My Order?

    Current processing time is about 2 weeks, give or take a day or two. Some orders may ship much sooner, but as most candles are made-to-order, I appreciate your patience! If you need something rushed, please don't hesitate to shoot me an email at info@getfictional.com.

    What If My Items Arrive Damaged?

    Unfortunately, it happens. I do my best to package everything to the max, but mail services can be rough on packages.

    If this happens to you, snap a quick shot of the damage and packaging and email me at info@getfictional.com. I will replace all damaged items!
