怪民研 #1

歩く亡者 怪民研に於ける記録と推理

亡者は海より這い上がり、首無女が迫り来る――。

瀬戸内にある波鳥町。その町にある、かつて亡者道と呼ばれた海沿いの道では、日の暮れかけた逢魔が時に、ふらふらと歩く亡者が目撃されたという。かつて体験した「亡者」についての忌まわしい出来事について話すため、大学生の瞳星愛は、刀城言耶という作家が講師を務める「怪異民俗学研究室」、通称「怪民研」を訪ねた。言耶は不在で、留守を任されている天弓馬人という若い作家にその話をすることに。こんな研究室に在籍していながらとても怖がりな馬人は、怪異譚を怪異譚のまま放置できず、現実的ないくつもの解釈を提示する。あの日、愛が遭遇したものはいったい何だったのか――(「第一話 歩く亡者」)。ホラー×ミステリの名手による戦慄の新シリーズ始動!

Really cute book about how the great detective meets his future shaman wife, in the basement laboratory of a university. Some incongruencies, eg how is the great detective writing to her to investigate and read a story to him - yes it's a cute twist, but a little stretched to be very honest. Still, it's cute how she senses that he gets scared with true horror, and torments him cheekily with spooky endings.

I can see what Shinzo Mitsuda's appeal is, despite convoluted plot twists and too much detail sometimes. He manages to balance the fear of horror with the desire to solve a closed room case. Is it horror? Is it simply a crime?
