What a great find! I discovered this while looking for the “essay collection by an author I haven't read” prompt from the 2022 genre reading challenge. Though I cheated a little bit since I don't think this was actually an “essay collection”...

Anyway, Japanese literature never fails to impress and entertain me thus far. This was such a cool concept, reintroducing Japanese ghost stories in the modern world. It's eerie at times but mostly comical.

I read this via audiobook and the narrator did a great job with the dialogue. I'm already looking forward to reading this in printed form so I could note a few passages I liked (a sad limitation I found in audiobooks because I'm too lazy to pause and transcribe every quote I come across).
