Into the book
I learned that there are more 'strange houses' across the country than I imagined.
So, this book contains research on eleven of these 'strange houses'.
At first glance, the data may seem unrelated.
But if you read carefully, one point of contact will emerge.
I hope you read it while making a guess.
--- p.7
Negishi: The house I lived in as a child was a single-story house in a residential area in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture.
I never felt uncomfortable, but no matter how much I thought about it, there was something strange about this place… … I had doubts since I was little.
Mr. Negishi pointed to a place in the drawing.
Negishi: This hallway, doesn't it seem unnecessary?
--- p.16
Imura: By the way, the house is really bad.
If you live in a house like this for a long time, you might go crazy.
It's not a house fit for living in.
Author: Not fit to live in… … .
What are you talking about…?
Imura: You don't know even after looking at this picture?
--- p.60
Hayasaka: This house was built by Mitsuko's father.
He is the president of 'Hikura House'.
There's no way a construction company president would make such a mistake.
Surely… it wasn’t a mistake.
Author: … … Then… … .
Hayasaka: Wasn't this house built so that my grandmother would have an accident?
--- pp.122-123
Author: Are you saying the thread was loose?
Jie: Yes.
It's weird, right? Since a real phone requires a tight string to hear the other person's voice, the string's length should be similar to the distance from my head to my dad's.
Author: … … That’s right.
Jie: But since the thread was loose, it means it was longer than that distance.
Then there's no way you can hear the other person's voice.
There is no way the thread will stretch on its own… … .
I thought it was strange.
Author: But you used to talk to your father on that real phone, right?
Jie: Yes.
I heard my father's voice from the paper cup.
Author: Then, my father spoke from another room… … .
Is that so?
Jie: Look at the drawing carefully.
Where is a room like that?
--- p.227
Iruma: I'm sure I was at home, but I don't remember exactly where.
For some reason, I suddenly felt dizzy and it became difficult to stand, so I crouched down without realizing it.
As the dizziness subsided, I looked ahead and saw a door.
"Huh? There's a door in a place like this?" I thought curiously and approached it, pulling it open, but inside was a small room.
It wasn't a small room or anything like that, it was incredibly small.
It was only about half the size of a tatami mat, so it was only big enough for three adults to fit on the square floor.
The ceiling was quite high though.
I remember the soles of my feet feeling cold as I took a step in, so I wondered if the floor was made of a material similar to wood.
It was a strange room with no windows and only plain white wallpaper.
I looked around and saw a small wooden box on the floor.
I opened the box lid and... ...there was something terrifying inside.

Publisher's Review
The hot real estate mystery, "The Strange House"
Finally back to the second story
"The Strange House" opened a new era of "real estate mystery" by creating tremendous tension with just an ordinary floor plan.
The second story, "The Strange House 2 - 11 Floor Plans," is published by Leadbee.
The 'Strange House Series' is a masterpiece by Uketsu, a popular horror content creator and currently one of the most popular writers in Japan. It started with the YouTube video 'Strange House', which heated up online communities and surpassed 24 million cumulative views.
Published in 2021, "The Strange House" ranked first in the horror mystery category that year, and continued its record as a long-term bestseller by reaching number one in the novel bestseller category in 2023.
Since then, it has been made into a comic book and a movie, and has been published in 15 countries around the world, capturing the hearts of readers not only in Japan but also overseas.
More than twice the length of the previous work, with more diverse floor plans, cleverly hidden secrets, and eerie riddles.
"The Strange House 2 - 11 Floor Plans" (2023), which clearly demonstrated the author's growth, ranked first on the Japanese comprehensive bestseller list in 2024, and the paperback edition of "The Strange House" also ranked first on the 2024 bestseller list.
The "Strange House" series, which broke the record of being the first in Japanese history to win two bestsellers, surpassing 2.55 million copies in cumulative sales, was recorded as the best-selling book in Japan in 2024.
Corridors that lead nowhere, moving walls, rooms that suddenly disappear… …
Can you uncover the secrets hidden in these '11 floor plans'?
"The Strange House," which unravels the chilling secrets hidden within a "house," a safe space for everyone, through the ordinary visual image of a "floor plan," has been praised for opening up new possibilities for popular novels with its excellent readability and vivid horror.
And that possibility led to amazing commercial success.
Like its predecessor, "The Strange House 2 - 11 Floor Plans" is a real estate mystery that reveals the secrets of the "strange house" through floor plans.
As the subtitle, '11 Floor Plans' suggests, 11 strange houses appear, and the occult writer 'I (Uketsu)' and architectural designer Kurihara, who were active in the first volume, 'The Strange House', appear again to uncover the mysteries hidden in the 11 floor plans.
Two years ago, I (Uketsu) published "The Strange House" after investigating the terrifying truth hidden in a single floor plan.
As this book gained a huge following, 'I' began receiving reports of numerous 'strange houses' across the country.
Corridors that lead nowhere, moving walls, rooms that suddenly disappear… … .
'I' discovers a strange commonality in 11 houses that at first glance seem completely unrelated.
To uncover the truth hidden within this commonality, 'I' gathers the research data and seeks out Kurihara.
As he examines the materials, Gurihara realizes that there is a chilling secret hidden within them.
The second installment of the "Strange House" series, now even more elaborate and eerie!
A dark, sinister malice hidden within a strange floor plan.
『The Strange House 2 - 11 Floor Plans』 is designed more elaborately than the first part, using floor plans.
The riddles have also become much more eerie.
Uketsu, who thought it would be difficult to escape the shadow of his previous work, "The Strange House," with its structure as a "real estate mystery," attempted a new transformation.
After completing several short stories dealing with 'strange buildings', I composed them into a series of novels that tie them together.
The result is an elaborate structure in which 11 strange houses and 11 bizarre floor plans each tell a story, and the sense of discomfort and connection come together to form an even more eerie larger picture.
Uketsu revealed that he tried to create a variety of stories by placing characters with distinct personalities and events with different atmospheres in each short story.
"The Strange House 2 - 11 Floor Plans," which clearly demonstrated the author's growth, achieved success that surpassed the success of the first installment, and the two volumes of the "The Strange House series" became a phenomenon, to the point that they were evaluated as "a major event in the publishing industry, which had long been called the Ice Age" ([Forbes Japan]).
Eleven strange houses, eleven bizarre floor plans, and a terrifying secret that connects them all.
At the beginning of the book, Uketsu boldly challenges the readers, “I urge you to read it while trying to reason.”
I hope you experience the cool horror and the thrilling pleasure of everything being connected.
