The voice of these stories falls flat for me, maybe because it’s a book in translation… I’m not interested in finishing this book. Boring, half-written, vague. There were minimal passages (sentences, actually) that stood out to me as “good”.

I was looking forward to reading this collection of stories for a while, but was disappointed when I finally picked up the book. It was a struggle to get through it. I’m all for ambiguity in horror but each story was too vague for me to feel… anything - anything other than mildly annoyed and bored. There are bits and pieces I liked of the writing but was overall left feeling unsatisfied.
