4.0

The Diving Pool by Yoko Ogawa is a captivating collection of three horror thriller short stories. The author's skillful pacing and beautiful writing style make each story a compelling exploration of the dark side of human psychology. What stands out the most are the emotionally displaced female main characters, whose unhinged and borderline disturbing nature adds an unsettling layer to the narratives.

These main characters who, despite appearing somewhat normal, possess an obsession so small that it becomes alarmingly twisted. Through their actions, which may seem trivial at first, they manage to wreak havoc on others' lives, causing immense pain and turmoil.

The book is filled with eery moments that will definitely linger in your mind. create an atmosphere of discomfort and suspense.

This collection of stories is a must-read for those who appreciate finely written horror thrillers that delve into the twisted complexities of the human mind.
