u/Reasonable_Scene_927

I never had a chance to finish the book due to my dog destroying it, but I'll say what I can remember. The main character was a woman, and I believe the setting was somewhere in Japan or Eastern Asia. The main character had trained at a temple to guard something in it, but eventually ended up leaving the temple, I believe to go kill evil entities? I remember she snuck into a temple, and got into a fight with a spider/human hybrid thing, and I believe she had a sword. If it's worth anything, I'm also fairly certain the cover was red, and I believe it had a fox mask on it.

Sorry for not having more details, this is a book I read probably close to 5 years ago and never had the chance to read very much of it

I wanted to title it "I Whispered to the Stars" and I want it to be a sort of cosmic horror story, albeit rather short

I legitimately felt like I was going crazy and losing my mind, and I'm still questioning my sanity now. But something slightly positive came from it, I'm now writing a short story from something that came to me while on my walk
