A series of loosely-linked light horror and thriller stories, which reads as if Yoko Ogawa was doing the writing version of an exquisite corpse game. Fun stuff, especially liked the stories that veered more into the speculative end of the scale.

Some of the stories were good, but most were either average or too weird for this collection. Don’t really have much else to say, I didn’t really like it but it wasn’t offensive. Give it a try if you want, but you’re not missing much if you don’t.
