Little Chiba is a dark and atmospheric tale where the boundaries between the supernatural and the human world begin to blur.
At the historic Codman Estate, strange occurrences, unexplained apparitions, and unsettling legends draw the attention of Marin Glenn, an intellectually curious researcher determined to uncover the truth behind reports of supernatural activity surrounding the old Lakota Cottage. Armed with scientific equipment and a determination to document what others cannot explain, Marin enters a world where history, folklore, spirits, and unexplained phenomena seem to converge.
But the mysteries surrounding the estate are only part of the story.
As Marin becomes increasingly immersed in the investigation, the lives of Mike, Melanie, Anita, Tom, Karl, and others become intertwined through relationships, secrets, betrayal, family tensions, and personal struggles. At the center of the darker narrative is Anita, a young girl whose troubled life and experiences force her to survive circumstances far beyond her years. Her connection to the mysterious spiritual presence surrounding the woods raises an unsettling question: could the forces that haunt this place also be protecting her?
Moving between the everyday world and the unexplained, Little Chiba combines paranormal suspense, psychological tension, historical mystery, dark humor, and deeply flawed characters. The story explores fear, loneliness, desire, betrayal, courage, family, survival, and the possibility that some mysteries are not meant to be completely solved.
For readers drawn to haunted places, supernatural investigations, mysterious spirits, morally complicated characters, and stories where reality is never quite what it seems, Little Chiba offers a haunting journey into the unknown.
