The world you know is a lie. It hides the truth. Behind the neon lights lurk dark shadows that feed on those that stray to close. In the heart of Tokyo walk creatures never mentioned in the guidebooks. Creatures that need the blood of the living. From Shinjuku to Shibuya the undead are the hidden power that controll this city. Learn the hidden truth in future chapters of the new narrative podcast from independent author Brent Thomas. Learn the truth of Bloody Tokyo.
