Origami - Paperback

Origami by Bafana Martin

In the crowded streets of Japan, Takumi Nagamoto lives a life of quiet desperation. A lowly office worker, barely scraping by, he endures a crumbling apartment, a hostile landlord, and a world that seems to mock him at every turn. His only solace is Ori, his loyal cat-until the shadows begin to stir.

One night, a chance encounter at an abandoned subway station changes everything. An ancient, hooded demon-Origami-possesses him, marking his body and twisting his reality. Dreams and waking life blur, revealing a world of blood-flowered trees, chained souls, and a neighborhood that never truly existed. As birds die at his touch and animals recoil in fear, Takumi must confront terrifying truths about his past, his life, and the curse that has silently guided him since childhood.

Guided by a mysterious shaman, he embarks on a journey into the Mountains of Death, following spiraling caves into the underworld, where illusions crumble and the horrors of Origami are fully revealed. Here, nothing is as it seems: the cat he loves, the people he knows, even the streets he walks are all part of a centuries-old curse.

Origami is a chilling descent into a Japanese-inspired world of supernatural horror, blending psychological terror with cosmic dread. As reality folds and the tree of death waits, Takumi must face the ultimate choice-resist, destroy, or be consumed by the abyss.

Prepare to enter a world where the lines between life, death, and illusion are folded into one terrifying axis-and nothing is safe from the power of Origami.
