About This Novel
"Hundred Monogatari in Back Alleys" is the masterpiece of Natsuhiko Kyogoku, the king of monster novels. It won the 130th Naoki Award and is the third volume in the "Hundred Monogatari in Back Alleys" series. During the Edo period in Japan, strange powers and chaotic gods spread, and ghosts appeared in the world, but there were no monsters more terrifying than humans. "Hundred Monogatari" is a popular game in Japan during the Edo period: on summer nights, people dressed in green clothes gathered in a dark room, lit a hundred candles, and took turns telling scary stories, blowing out one candle after each story. According to legend, when all the candles are extinguished, a vision will occur. Hundreds of years later, the ancient ghost story game has not disappeared: Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department first-class inspector Yahagi often solves strange cases and is famous, but he does not know that behind him there are three friends and an old man who loves to collect strange things to help him. Behind the seemingly rampant phenomenon of monsters, it is actually caused by the demons in the human heart.
