Every item in a pawnshop has its value, and a story. The owner of a pawnshop, if he is to see these things clearly, must have a very special eye. In The Otherworld Pawnshop, readers encounter a 400-year-old pawnshop that only operates at night, and a high school student who is forced to run the shop in the wake of a family tragedy. Not yet an adult, and with a horoscope laden with otherworldly influences, he finds himself embroiled in a murder case, and then discovers that the store he has inherited hides further secrets. Packed with humorous dialogue, superstition, folklore, and social observation, The Otherworld Pawnshop is a captivating construction.
