かわいそ笑
「死んだ人のことはちゃんと可哀想にしてあげなきゃ駄目でしょう。」
一度読んだら引き返せない、怪異が侵食する恐怖のネット怪談。
雨穴氏(『変な家』著) 推薦!!
インターネット上に伝わる多くの怪談。
その中に何故か特定の「あの子」が被害にあう奇妙な怪談が出回っていた。
とある掲示板のQRコード、インタビューの書き起こし、出典不明な心霊写真、匿名のメールデータ。
筆者がこれまでに収集した情報をもとに怪談を読み解く、読者参加型のホラーモキュメンタリー。
一見バラバラに見える情報から、浮かび上がってくる「ネット怪談の裏側の物語」とは。
【雨穴氏コメント】
この本を読み終えたあと、まったく読み終えた気がしませんでした。
かつてその場に自分が居合わせたのではないかと錯覚するほどリアルで気味の悪い映像が
文章を通じて、目の数センチ先に突き付けられるような不快感。
確実に何かが繋がっているのに、完全には説明されないもやもや。
まるで奇書を読んでいる気分でした。
ただ同時に、この感覚に懐かしさを覚えました。
ある時点で気づきました。子供の頃に、インターネットを見ていたときの気分と同じなのです。
閉鎖的で、情報が少なくて、画像と文字と粗末な動画しかなかった昔のインターネット。
私は、個人の書き込んだ体験談や創作、とりとめのない雑談などを読み漁っていました。
それらは、書き手の呼吸が聞こえそうなほど身近に感じられ、しかし、書かれている以上のことは何も分からない。
それ以上を知ろうとすれば、ディスプレイの向こう側を想像するしかない。この本の読み心地は、まさにそれに近いものがありました。
「ネットを読み終える」などということが不可能なように、きっとこの本を読み終えることは、一生できないのでしょう。
私は近いうちにまた、読み返そうと思います。そして、想像します。
この本が日本全国に出回れば、手に取った人の数だけ想像が生まれるでしょう。
そして『あの子』は……。
――「もうやり直せないよ 残念でした」

#ShelfReview น่าสงสารจัง ขอแชร์ต่อนะ ฮิฮิ
กระทู้ปริศนา เรื่องผี เรื่องสยองขวัญ จดหมายลูกโซ่ การมีอยู่ของบางบุคคล
อ่านจบแล้วก็ได้แต่ถามตัวเองว่า นี่ฉันอ่านอะไรอยู่นะ หรือฉันง่วงเกินนะ
อาจจะโทษตัวเองที่อ่านมันในสภาวะที่ร่างกายล้าสุด ๆ แต่อ่านไม่รู้เรื่องเลย
จับต้นชนปลายไม่ถูก ไม่ค่อนเข้าใจว่าเนื้อเรื่องกำลังพาเราไปสู่อะไร
จะว่าเป็นสยองขวัญแต่บรรยากาศก็ไม่ได้ทำให้รู้สึกหวาดกลัวขนาดนั้น
ระหว่างทางเต็ทไปด้วยเรื่องราวแบบสลับฉาก อารมณ์เหมือนอ่าน คิงคิ
แต่อาจจะด้อยกว่าหน่อยที่แต่ละเรื่องราวมันดูสะเปะสะปะไปทุกทิศทุกทาง
เปิดหัวเรื่องมาค่อนข้างน่าสนใจโดยเฉพาะสองบทแรกของเรื่องราว
แต่หลังจากนั้นแอบค่อนข้างงง บทสรุปก็มาในท่าที่ยังไม่ค่อยเก็ททั้งหมด
โดยรวมคืออาจจะต้องหาเวลาในการอ่านเล่มนี้ที่เหมาะสมมากกว่านี้
เป็นเล่มบาง ๆ แต่ต้องมีสติในการอ่านอยู่หน่อย ๆ เลยไม่หลอนเท่าไหร่นัก
5/10 .

I'm a bit conflicted on how to rate this book. I could give it anywhere between a 3 and a 5, but I think I'm gonna leave it at a 4 for now.
かわいそ笑 ("Poor thing lol") is a horror mockumentary taking the form of a collection of several scary stories which mainly take place on the internet, or under its influence. The individual stories are bizarre and surreal, moreso than the stuff featured in most horror mockumentaries I've read. They oftentimes don't really explain much, describing strange imagery (and sometimes showing it to you and even asking you to interface with it in some way!) and then just leaving you to linger in its aftertaste. They very much reminded me of Fake Documentary Q's approach to horror - subtle, bizarre, inexplicable.
Of course, like any self-respecting horror mockumentary, かわいそ笑 also has an overarching narrative, but it's a very unusual one. The focus here doesn't fall as much on the chain of events described in the book as it does on the Themes of it all. I would prefer to avoid spoiling it, but I believe that a funny and surprisingly apt way to describe the vibe would be "What if Dennis Cooper's The Sluts was about online curses instead of being about extremely fucked up gay sex." Yes, really.
Despite some bits of it being a bit hard to grasp on a casual first read, かわいそ笑 does an exceptional job with capturing the strange, uncertain feelings evoked by the late 90s-early 00s internet, as well as creepypasta culture. You have it all: strange spam email, bizarre rituals brought up on anonymous message boards, (possibly) cursed images with unknown origins (hell, there's a direct mention of Jeff the Killer of all things, in relation to the fictitious cursed image here) and much more. It's a feast for anyone who likes netlore-inspired horror - both as a collection of individual stories and as a thematic whole. It also adds its own unique spin on the "book that curses you" niche in Japanese horror mockumentary literature - I really liked this aspect of the book and found it very fresh. Here's to hoping all of the cursebooks I've read so far (and all that I'll read in the future) are just pure fiction and I can still be saved haha.

Một tác phẩm thú vị. Ban đầu mình không kì vọng gì nhiều. Nhưng sau khi đọc hết thì phải vào đánh giá ngay vì trải nghiệm đọc hết sức thú vị và đặc biệt.
Nếu ai quen với cách kể chuyện truyền thống, có hệ thống nhân vật, hành động, cốt truyện chương hồi có rút thắt, cao trào rõ ràng thì sẽ khá khó khi đọc. Nhưng nếu ai có biết đến các motif kinh dị mạng, như analog horror chẳng hạn hoặc truyền thuyết đô thị Nhật, thì cách kể chuyện của tác phẫm có thể sẽ khiến bạn bất ngờ. Truyện tập hợp những mảnh ghép rời rạc để xây dựng nên một câu chuyện rùng rợn, mơ hồ không (cần) lời giải. Độ rùng rợn và khó hiểu sẽ dàn trải tất cả các chương.
Điều mình thích ở truyện này chính là lối kể chuyện độc đáo của nó. Song, điểm trừ của câu chuyện, có lẽ cũng chính vì tính độc đáo kì dị của nó thành ra tác phẩm sẽ kén người đọc. Nếu ai mua sách mà chưa tìm hiểu trước về điểm này thì xin chia buồn.
Nói chung thì mình nghĩ đây không phải là một tác phẩm quá hoàn mĩ, và bản thân nó cũng không định dạng mình sẽ trở thành một tác phẩm hoàn mĩ 5 sao. Nó chỉ đơn giản là làm những thứ gai góc, cá tính nó muốn làm. Mình thích trải nghiệm đọc này.

DNF20%。
「近畿地方のある地域について」だっけ、あれみたいな「雰囲気だけで怖がらせる」系
なので文章も読みづらいし、はっきりしないのでモヤモヤする
どうやら「読者巻き込み型ホラー」？みたいなので、最後まで読んだらぞわぞわ面白いのかもしれないけれど、いかんせん文章読むのが苦痛なので読むのをやめる(まぁもしかしたらいつか読むかもだけど)
読書メーターで色々な人の感想を読む限り、別にDNFして損はしないっぽい

This is a metafictional, internet-drenched horror that turns the usual Japanese "curse" idea inside out and upside down in ways I'm still not sure I understand.
Something very different.
