A restless spirit who ended life as a victim and started death as an avenger, she's groomed Tark to destroy the wicked.

- East Asian folklore
Praise for The Girl from the Well
There's a superior creep factor that is pervasive in every lyrical word of Chupeco's debut, and it's perfect for teens who enjoy traditional horror movies...the story is solidly scary and well worth the read. -- Booklist
Chupeco makes a powerful debut with this unsettling ghost story...told in a marvelously disjointed fashion from Okiku's numbers-obsessed point of view, this story unfolds with creepy imagery and an intimate appreciation for Japanese horror, myth, and legend. -- Publishers Weekly STARRED review
It hit all the right horror notes with me, and I absolutely recommend it to fans looking for a good scare. -- The Book Smugglers
