▼ Introduction "That house's child will die from swelling." - In "Bera's Shrine," "I" visit my sister living in P Village and notice something strange about her, as she prays daily at a small shrine dedicated to the local deity, "Bera." - "The Monkeys of Mount Uzu" and "The Ganbe Brothers" depict "non-human beings" descending from the mountains to the village. - In "Maru's Child," a young child is locked alone in a mountain shrine solely to hear the sacred voice of "Maru," a bizarre custom. This collection also includes "The Beast in the Sealed Room," "Tenjingaeri," and "The Disease Leading to Diffusion," a collection of seven short stories. The latest work from the author of the talked-about plot-twist horror novel, "The House You Shouldn't Photograph." ▼ Author Jun Yagi Born in Aomori Prefecture in 1976. Graduated from the Faculty of Humanities at Hirosaki University. Debuted as a manga author in 2002 under the joint pen name "Kato Yagi" with his younger sister. In 2012, he debuted as a novelist with "Memorandum for S: The Kagome-so Serial Murder Case," which was submitted to the 10th "This Mystery is Amazing!" Award. In 2020, he won the 73rd Japan Mystery Writers Association Award for Short Story with the title story included in "Husband's Bones." Although it's a collection of short stories, they are all connected by plot threads, making you want to reread it. I was able to encounter a horrifying and ominous novel that made me shudder for the first time in a while. #A Certain Village's ⚫︎ #JunYagi #SuperstitionHorror
