    Not a horror story! Important note first. It's a suspenseful, humanistic tale with a slow pace; those who prefer fast-paced stories should proceed with caution. The male protagonist, a researcher, experiences workplace injustice and ends up in a friend's rural village. The villagers' oral traditions and the technology of the present day create a strange intersection, exploring memories and historical truths. The story has a cool, detached atmosphere and is written in a very comfortable style.
