The other stories are a mix of "meh" and insightful, but hands down the best story in this collection is The Long Passage of Dreams. It's an extremely difficult read because it has many references to Greek mythology and Noh plays. Despite my lack of knowledge in both of those subjects, I still think this piece of story is illuminating. It's a thoughtful masterpiece on death, life, and love.
4 ⭐️ for that story.

Now I'm on the last (and longest) story in this collection, and I must say that this was not that bad of a read. Kurahashi Yumiko writes a lot about taboo topics and sexualization of women. The stories are a mix of disgusting, disturbing stories and supernatural ones.

Third story - The House of the Black Cat

Kurahashi Yumiko is fucking insane.
