Two mountain climbers are caught in a blizzard; one of them, badly injured and believing he is about to die, confesses to murder. The two men make it to shelter and call for help, but is the one who heard the confession truly safe?

This is a great psychological thriller, with increasing paranoia driving the story. The art is crisp, and drives home the sense of isolation and danger. Fans of Patricia Highsmith should check this one out.

graphic fiction - horror/suspense (manga translated from Japanese, reads from right to left)
Injured and lost in a blizzard on Mt. Owari, a man (Ishikura) confesses to his fellow trekker (Asai) that he murdered a woman 5 years ago, then regrets his confession when they find a cabin to take shelter in and wait for rescue.

a fast-paced, suspense-filled read--I read the first chapter in a preview of the book, and couldn't resist reading the rest. Blizzardy show more isolation and a crazed, knife-wielding maniac makes this story reminiscent of The Shining -- lots of fun overall for fans of psychological horror. show less
The American Political system through the eyes of a Japanese reporter.
