About This Novel
The well-known Japanese writer Natsuhiko Kyogoku is a masterpiece of monster novels, among which "A Hundred Monogatari in the Back Alley" won the 130th Naoki Award, and "A Hundred Monogatari in the West Alley" won the 24th Shibata Renzaburo Award. The texts in the series of "Hundred Stories of Stories from Alleys" are elegant, tactful, delicate and enchanting. They appear to be about monsters and chaos, but in fact they are about ghosts and ghosts. 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 be triggered and monsters will be awakened. The scholar Bai Jie traveled to various feudal states and collected monster legends. During the journey, he encounters three strange people: Youchi is a charming and well-mannered person, known as the "trickster"; Ayin, a geisha who is charming and graceful, is good at dancing with long sleeves and is good at operating puppets; Zhiping is a pirate who is sophisticated and good at disguise. Bai Jie began to get involved in a series of strange and ghostly things. He vaguely realized that these strange things were closely related to his three new friends...

I have read the physical book and it was recommended by a friend. The content is novel, strange and interesting. It is great.
It seems that I have taken a step forward and can only sit on the bench.
I just want to know the truth,
Those who have no last words and die of hunger and thirst will wander astray and beg for water, wailing and weeping, which is extremely pitiful.
A sound like a taiko drum hammered in the depths of my brain.
It wasn't a sound, it was a tremor.
But the tremor was closer to pain.
Anyone who sees the god of death for a moment will surely suffer a violent death and kills himself, all of whom are bewitched by this demon.
nice
I remember there is an anime, you can go watch it.
Just after June, on a morning with gentle breeze, Yamaoka Momosuke returned to Edo from Kaga Province's Koshioura.
