An audacious book, a collection of ghost stories that's spooky, original and defiantly feminist . . . Like the subject matter of the book, Matsuda's writing, and Polly Barton's masterful translation, seems to exist on a higher plane . . . These aren't the same old horror stories you've encountered before--they're novel, shimmering masterworks from a writer who seems incapable of being anything less than original.
