There was more horror in this story than I was expecting, but it wasn’t unwelcome. That being said, the rest of the story was pretty straightforward. I would have appreciated if it went a little deeper into the psychological side of how the characters are feeling. It felt a little surface level in places. 
I am interested in learning more about Japanese legends after reading this, though, which I think is a good sign. If you are looking for a simple, low key ghost story then this is the book for you.
