- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

My favorite story was definitely SEVEN ROOMS (it was also one of the most emotional and chilling stories for me), but ZOO and 向阳之诗 were also very good and interesting in their own ways.

Đây là tuyển tập truyện ngắn vừa dị vừa ghê nhưng lại ấn tượng nhất trong số những sách thuộc mảng kinh dị mà mình từng đọc :))
Khuyến cáo nếu bạn không chịu được mấy cái biến thái, quái dị, dễ bị ám ảnh thì cân nhắc trước khi đọc

Damn. [b:Zoo|6149338|Zoo|Otsuichi|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1450239739l/6149338._SY75_.jpg|6328382] is definitely very dark, and some of it made me very queasy. I did notice a few themes recurring across stories (the stories revolving around child abuse were particularly wrenching), but this is a great anthology, with a good mix of surreal, lighthearted, gory, and mystery stories. I also loved that every story had a WHAM! moment.

Those First Two Stories!
Pretty shocking stories
The first two were excellent.
The rest were not so great.
Still, looking forward to reading more books by the author. Has lots of promise!
2.8/5

Would it be possible to request for a 10/5 stars from goodreads?
This is a mind-blowing, gut-wrenching masterpiece. How did I not hear of Otsuichi sooner? This collection of short stories is all I need to release all my emotions after a long reading slump. I ugly-cried and laughed. For a young individual himself, the author knows how and what to feel about death. It's sad, but delivered beautifully and in a more subtle way that would not hurt so much..Just like a Ghibli scenery in the face of death. Hauntingly beautiful.

3,75 / 5 sao
Bộ này lúc mới đọc hai câu truyện đầu làm mình thấy rờn rợn phấn khích cực. Nhưng sau khi đọc hết 11 mẩu truyện thì thích nhất có lẽ chỉ có "Seven rooms", "So far" và "Zoo" thôi. Càng về sau cảm giác các câu truyện giảm dần độ kinh dị va độ hay. Nhiều câu truyện cảm giác thiệt biến thái, chết tới nơi mà còn cười đùa được... Nói chung phục tác giả đầu óc cỡ nào mới viết được mấy truyện này.
