"When citizens of a secluded village begin dying off in alarming numbers, the sole hospital's head doctor tries desperately to save his patients--but his efforts are in vain. ... The villagers discover their loved ones' corpses are rising from the grave with an insatiable thirst for human blood. Haunting, hallucinogenic and unnerving to the core, Shiki stares into the hearts of both the hunter and the hunted. Who is safe when the urge to kill in order to survive blurs the line between man and monster?"--Set container.
