The Akiya: Trilogy

PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLERS SET IN JAPAN'S ABANDONED HOMES.

A "Project We Love" on Kickstarter — funded at 199%.

What if you left everything behind for a new life in Japan… and the place you escaped to had plans of its own? Welcome to The Akiya, where the quietest, most peaceful corners of Japan are exactly where people disappear. Dark, standalone thrillers set in real abandoned homes across real Japanese prefectures.

• Three Standalone Thrillers in One Collection: Each book is set in a real akiya — an abandoned house — in a different Japanese prefecture, and each can be read independently.
• Authentic Japan, Dark Fiction: Real locations, real cultural depth, and a sense of dread that only comes when the beautiful and the dangerous exist in the same space.
• Kickstarter-Funded: Backed by readers who wanted thrillers with real cultural roots and psychological depth.

The Three Books:

The Akiya Fukuoka
He left America to outrun the pain. He didn't know the house he bought had been collecting broken men for years.

Now his daughter is missing, his wife has gone quiet, and the man who runs the town like a kingdom has had his eye on Marcus' family from the start.

He came to Japan to stop hurting himself. Saving them may cost him everything he was trying to leave behind.

The Akiya Hokkaido
She moved to Japan for freedom. Her boyfriend had other plans.

When he brings her to a centuries-old mountain house for Christmas, the supernatural horror he unleashes is nothing compared to what was already waiting inside.

An ancient force has found its vessel… and it drank her blood to make sure she can never truly leave.

The Akiya Nagano
They left influencing for a crumbling love hotel in rural Japan: a fresh start, a real story, something that belonged to them.

But the IT specialist who wired the place before they arrived never left. He's been watching every fight, every silence, every crack in their marriage.

Now the doors are locked, the cameras are live, and he wants them to show their audience something they've spent a decade hiding: the real Japan.

The truth behind the frame.

Each book stands alone, but the world of The Akiya deepens the more you read. Start anywhere, but you won't stop at one.
