Coles Am I Beautiful? A Japanese Folklore Horror of the Slit-Mouthed Woman at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Late at night, when the streets are empty and the rain begins to fall, a woman appears from the darkness wearing a white surgical mask. Her long black hair hides most of her face, and her voice is soft enough to sound almost kind. "Am I beautiful?" Most people laugh nervously and answer yes. That is the last mistake they ever make. In a forgotten town haunted by whispers and disappearances, strange rumors begin spreading among students, taxi drivers, and night workers. Some claim they saw a pale woman standing beneath flickering streetlights. Others say they heard metal scissors scraping across concrete just before someone vanished forever. When university student Ren Takahashi receives a mysterious midnight phone call from an unknown number, his life begins to collapse into terror. The caller only repeats one question again and again: "Am I beautiful?" At first, Ren believes it is a cruel prank. But after one of his classmates is found dead with a horrifying smile carved into her face, he realizes the legend is real. The Slit-Mouthed Woman has returned. As the deaths spread across the city, Ren joins investigative journalist Mika Sato and retired detective Hiroshi Mori to uncover the ancient truth behind the curse. Their search leads them into abandoned tunnels, forgotten shrines, and blood-soaked secrets buried for decades. Every clue reveals something worse than they imagined: the spirit is not simply killing people. It is searching for something... or someone. The deeper they investigate, the more the line between myth and reality disappears. Mirrors begin showing reflections that move on their own. Phone calls come from dead victims. Children whisper warnings about a woman with a torn smile waiting outside their windows. And every midnight, the same question echoes through the darkness. "Am I beautiful?" Inspired by chilling Japanese urban legends, Am I Beautiful? is a brutal supernatural horror novel filled with psychological dread, disturbing imagery, cursed folklore, and relentless suspense. Perfect for fans of terrifying ghost stories, Japanese horror cinema, and nightmare-inducing legends, this novel drags readers into a world where fear hides behind a smile. Some legends are meant to stay buried. Some questions should never be answered. But once she chooses you, there is no escape. When the mask finally comes off, your nightmare truly begins.
