老人が語る、村を襲う「ひとでなし」の恐怖とは――三島屋シリーズ第八弾!

江戸は神田三島町にある袋物屋の三島屋は、風変わりな百物語をしていることで知られている。
語り手一人に聞き手も一人、話はけっして外には漏らさず、「語って語り捨て、聞いて聞き捨て」これが三島屋の変わり百物語の趣向である。
従姉妹のおちかから聞き手を受け継いだ三島屋の「小旦那」こと富次郎は、おちかの出産を控える中で障りがあってはならないと、しばらく百物語をお休みすることに決める。
休止前の最後の語り手は、商人風の老人と目の見えない彼の妻だった。老人はかつて暮らした村でおきた「ひとでなし」にまつわる顛末を語りだす――。

The last story is too long and very boring. A zombie outbreak set in Edo period, not so interesting.
