"The ghost stories in Aoko Matsuda’s collection aren’t your average spooky tales – they’re based on traditional Japanese stories of yokai, ghosts and monsters that figure prominently in Japan’s folklore. But Matsuda puts her own clever spin on them, making them feel contemporary, unique and unapologetically feminist. Matsuda writes with a subtle self-assuredness mixed with a sly, unexpected sense of humor, and the results are downright addictive."
