Fantastic modern fantasy.

Thersa Matsuura has done her homework when it comes to Japanese monsters and culture. As a fellow American expat, I am impressed by A Robe of Feathers -- it's an alluring, ethereal collection of human emotion and tragedy. Shakespearean in scope, Japanese in depth and imagination.

Modern urban fantasies with a serving of traditional Japanese monsters, most with tragic or ambiguous endings. Now for something completely different ;) not a Western fantasy.
