Honestly I prefer the first one, but the second part are also full of surprises. Compared to the plots, it is more focused on building the vibe and creep. Out of all, I like CLOSET most cause it is more close to mystery kind I like.

Liked some stores. Others not so much (too much). Has sand box short story which is good.

[ReReDead · Rating 4 out of 5]

Only read the sandbox short story in another collection. It was a very short read, but also very effective. Otsuichi is good at making the whole situation familiar and therefore more chilling.
