The addictive mystery taking the world by storm, from the author of The Times Bestseller Strange Pictures
Eleven strange buildings. One terrible secret.
A lonely hut in the woods.
A hidden chamber.
A mysterious shrine.
A home in flames.
A nightmarish prison…
Each of the buildings in this book tells a chilling story. Each one is part of a puzzle.
Look closely… and you’ll see that everything is connected.
All leading to a revelation so horrifying you won’t want to believe it.
Millions of readers have become addicted to solving Uketsu’s dark mysteries.
Strange Buildings is the strangest, and darkest, so far.
Reviews
What starts as a collection of quirky (albeit somewhat disquieting) short stories slowly builds into something much more menacing, with the final conclusion bringing together all the loose threads in a satisfyingly shocking way. A complex but highly enjoyable and addictive read
Fiona Leitch, author of A Cornish Seaside Murder
This is Uketsu’s most epic mystery yet: 11 short puzzles, ingeniously brought together at the novel’s conclusion to reveal the deeply unsettling truth. I stayed up late reading it. This is the definition of a just-one-more-chapter book
Alex Pavesi, author of Eight Detectives
From the viral sensation behind Strange Pictures comes another addictive mystery… Strange Buildings may be Uketsu’s darkest work yet
