Japanese Gothic by Kylie Lee Baker

2026 Lee can't remember exactly where he hid the body, but he can remember the blood. Hiding out at his father's centuries-old home in Japan, Lee knows something is wrong with him, and he knows it has something to do with his mother's disappearance almost a decade ago.

1877 A female samurai, Sen, stalks the borders of her home to protect her family from slaughter after the abolition of the samurai class. She's not sure how they'll ever survive, not without her father, who has returned from war with a different soul behind his eyes. When Lee and Sen find one another through a door between their worlds, they're both looking for answers.

But what they find in the creaking old house they share is beyond what either of them could imagine...
