Tales of Old Edo - Kaiki: Uncanny Tales from Japan, Vol. 1 by Masao Higashi

5.0

This is a very well done compilation, and I'm actually very pleased with the quality for it technically being print on demand. Horror of a different variety, this hits more of the "creepy" than the shock value that we're reliant on in western horror. Undertones are there, and it shows the complexity of Japanese horror tropes. "If you saw something, no you didn't" rings through most of these, and there's something here that feels so... Deeply sinister in some. A very well done volume, and I can't wait to check out more.
