The Headless Woman

(from ebookjapan):
For some reason, there were no pedestrians and not a single car passed by that day. Although her friends did not hear her, Sayuri's ears were filled with the echoes of the clock ticking in the street. When Sayuri was left alone, a beautiful stranger attacked her with a knife, leaving her with a scar on her face that would never fade. It was undoubtedly the woman's body that was emitting the sound of the clock. Vowing revenge, Sayuri follows the sound of a clock that appears in the street in the middle of the night and arrives at a strange Western-style house... Includes the title story and one other short story.
