3.75
I wish I could read the original version, however, from the translation, I thought all the stories were written really well and I would’ve loved to explore the characters in their own books. My rating of 3.75 is purely writing based - this is my first introduction to horror short stories so I’m having trouble giving it more than that based on my lack of understanding of the horror genre and its themes - I do recommend reading it though!
