Another collection of "True" Japanese Ghost Stories. This one had a long section about scary dreams, and seeing something you shouldn't.
Sometimes pretty scary.

Finally picked this one back up to finish it and I'm glad I did.
As always, Kowabana brings us a bunch of scary stories peppered all over the internet; what makes it so good is having so much variety when it comes to the topics of the stories.
Lots of kunekune stories this time, which has become a favourite of mine. And by favourite it means it scares me greatly even if I live nowhere near rice fields. Or in the other side of the world.
Another astounding book from Tara!
