Loved the Blackbird story in this, Magami Nanakuse is ridiculous and the lowest point. Couldn’t quite get what he was going for with that one. Overall these are just fun concise horror stories. In the afterword Ito mentions this not necessarily being his greatest work and I would agree with that but enjoyed it nonetheless.

Some pretty creepy stories in this one. My favorites are Tomio: Red Turtleneck, Gentle Goodbye, and Whispering Woman.
