I finished this book the same day that I bought it. It’s short, but well written, and it’s creepy with psychological terror. I also found myself staring at the cover art even though it is frightening to look at because its depiction of both the title and the monster described within its pages is a perfect fit. I had to tell myself to stop looking at it for too long because it felt as if I kept staring that it would come to life before me. I didn’t expect the story to take place in Japan or for there to be so many Japanese mythical creatures mentioned, but it was a welcome surprise. This book was not what I expected, but I liked it. I am interested in seeing what else this author has to offer.
