In a village near Solo, Central Java, an old watchtower stands at the edge of the rice paddies. The locals call it Menara Setan -- the Devil's Tower. The rule is simple: don't look up if you're near it after dark. When engineer Dika heard something breathing above him one night, and a voice called his name from the darkness, he understood why the rule exists.

The Genderuwo is one of the most feared creatures in Javanese folklore -- a large, ape-like spirit with red eyes that inhabits dark, abandoned places. Its most dangerous weapon is its voice: it can imitate anyone you know. But the real horror is not the monster. It's the part of you that wants to look.
