Description:

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. In the autumn of 1949, Edward Lang—a war-scarred translator fleeing the remnants of his past—arrives in the remote village of Matsukawa in Japan’s Nagano Prefecture. There, hidden beyond the pines, stands a forgotten house once inhabited by silence and shadow. Lang seeks solitude to translate ancient texts. Instead, he discovers a presence waiting to be remembered. As dreams bleed into reality and memories warp into myth, Lang descends into a ritual not of his making. Haunted by a shrine maiden named Tomoe, whose voice echoes through ash and time, Lang becomes both witness and vessel to an ancient wound sealed within the house’s pit—a hollow that hungers not for souls, but for the truths we bury. Each step forward draws him deeper into a world governed by forgotten gods, living scars, and names etched in silence. As the house breathes, and the forest tilts to listen, Lang must decide whether redemption lies in forgetting—or in finally remembering everything. The Mourning Hollow is a story of memory, atonement, and the spiritual architecture of trauma—where ghosts are not the dead, but the pieces of ourselves we leave behind. Duration - 25m.
