Apparently the Haiku of Horror product has been selling really well. And this is intended to be a series of iconic Japanese mapped locations with included cool encounter.

Add to that Wes Schneider has agreed to write the forward to the Kaidan GM's Guidebook. Since Wes it the resident Gothic Horror guru on the Paizo staff, as Ustalav is his baby within the Golarian setting, he's ideal to introduce Kaidan's horror offering to the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.
