I loved every minute of this audiobook. It kept me so engaged throughout that I had to pause several times if anyone tried to talk to me. I felt like if I stopped listening even for a moment, I might miss something important. At first, I thought this was going to be a collection of short stories, because it changed perspectives so many times. But at the end, they all connected and were part of a bigger story and bigger picture. I must say the first story with the pregnancy and the sketches were creepy and I was enthralled by the story. The whole time listening to this book, felt like solving a puzzle. A really dark, creepy and mysterious one. It was really fun and engaging.

Many thanks to Uketsu and netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this text.
I loved the pacing of this story: its speed balanced perfectly with the reflective tone, creating a text that was as atmospherically mysterious as it was compelling. I listened in one sitting, waiting for the full story to emerge in the connections between the vignettes. At the end I was impressed with the way everything drew together, but truthfully I would have enjoyed it quite a bit even if it was a short story collection with no connections between the stories.
Some of the detective elements could have been corny in another context, but there was something a little supernatural in the tone that kept my sense of disbelief at bay. I thoroughly enjoyed this book
I could see this being a good pick for the right book club, or a recommendation for someone looking for dark magical realism.

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. Uketsu did a fantastic job of arching the short stories throughout this book to tell a dark story of murder and betrayal. I would recommend this to my friends looking for a short but captivating read.

This was interesting and twisty but I was expecting it to be scary considering it was categorized as horror and my experience with Japanese horror is me being terrified. I would label this as more of a mystery but I enjoyed it.
