Yokai Ningen

by Jason Rubis

When photojournalist Jack Sipes finally wangled an assignment in Japan, he wasn’t expecting to be stuck in a tiny fishing village on the wrong end of nowhere. The problem was, sleepy Kuriwara turned out to be more interesting than it first appeared—and far more dangerous. An encounter with a renegade lady scientist bent on turning local thugs into fishlike monstrosities was just the beginning; soon poor Jack finds himself embroiled in a bizarre adventure involving an expatriate magician, a talking raccoon-dog, and a whole menagerie of feuding Japanese goblins. The end of the world is coming, and all the sake in the world won’t stop it.

I enjoyed this and read it in a day. The main character Jack Sipes, I could definitely see having more adventures that I would follow. The many creatures, taken from Japanese folklore were interesting and I loved the "community" feel they had together. I liked the unique ending as well.
