Product Description

Product Description

This is The Sixth Sense speed-written by Chuck Palahniuk until all the pages blurred into one.



Hikikomori takes the madness of the protagonists, and the twists that keep the readers/audience on the edge, and cranks it up several notches. Hikikomori is uniquely told twice, from two different protagonist's perspective.



The twists that blindside the reader at every turn in Hikikomori, keeps the tight story surging forward; an irresistible read.



Hikikomori is such a unique and compelling exploration of madness, and such a thrilling ride of twists and turns, it is a story you have to talk about afterwards.



This is a story that demands word of mouth, and that word of mouth will bring readers directly to Hikikomori.

Read this book now! 28 Feb 2012
Hikikomori is incredibly well written and I am stunned by Lawrence Pearce's skill as a writer and his attention to detail. This book leaves you wondering where to draw the line between the paranormal and insanity; it is incredibly thought provoking and will stay with you for a long time. I will be re-reading it soon and would recommend it to anyone.

Hikiomori 12 Feb 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
Thoroughly enjoyed this, my first kindle purchase. Atmospheric, detailed,& stays with one long after finishing the story. Rather dark & brooding, in many ways a disturbing read in an enjoyable way.Am going to re-read now, as I feel I would appreciate again with insight.

Great read!
I'm not a huge fan of the horror genre, but it was a treat to read 'Hikikomori'. Jared is a great character - I may or may not have yelled, "Oh no he DIDN'T!" at a couple of parts. Read more
