Reviews

[Lars Reijnen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Unforgettable people stands out.

[Nina · Rating 3 out of 5]

Love the way story #1 and story #5 traumatize your soul and the three in-between are just, like, ghost stories. Great collection!

[Sharren · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read "An Honest Man" by Kunikida Doppo and not this published chronological story since goodreads hasn't registered that yet. But I've read it and it's simplistically poignant.
