The original Horror Collector series is written by Midori Sato and Norio Tsuruta, who is known as the “father of J-Horror” for his work on the TV drama Honto ni Atta Kowai Hanashi. The novels feature illustrations by Yon.
The series has been published by Kadokawa under the Kadokawa Tsubasa Bunko label since June 2015 and currently has 27 volumes.
A manga adaptation illustrated by Niko Yuki was serialized in Monthly Comic Gene from September 2021 to February 2022 and later collected into one volume.
Yen Press publishes the official English version of the novels:
THERE ARE WORSE THINGS THAN THE BOOGEYMAN…
The internet is full of creepypastas, cryptid sightings, tales of paranormal activity, and unsolved disappearances. These are mostly rumors and pranks fueled by trolls—entertainment. But the unlucky few learn the hard way that some legends are true. Many of these unfortunate souls are doomed, but their luck may change if they cross paths with the boy in the red hood. He roams from town to town and appears wherever strange things occur. Is he a light in the dark? Or living proof that monsters are all too real…?
