Summer, Fireworks, and My Corpse

by Nathan Collins, Otsuichi
RM51.03 MYR
Summer, Fireworks, and My Corpse
Summer, Fireworks, and My Corpse

Dark Japanese tales unraveling through unique perspectives.

If you are drawn to the chilling allure of Japanese horror, "Summer, Fireworks, and My Corpse" offers a macabre twist on storytelling that might just grip you. The unique viewpoint of a deceased narrator in the first story is unsettling yet captivating, and the supernatural elements of "Black Fairy Tale" will keep you entrenched in its eerie mystery. The book taps into the inherent curiosity about life after death and the macabre, which could be particularly enthralling if that's where your interests lie.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Two short novels, including the title story and Black Fairy Tale, plus a bonus short story. Summer is a simple story of a nine-year-old girl who dies while on summer vacation. While her youthful killers try to hide her body, she tells us the story--from the point of view of her dead body--of the children's attempt to get away with murder. Black Fairy Tale is classic J-horror: a young girl loses an eye in an accident, but receives a transplant. Now she can see again, astonishingly what she sees out of her new left eye is the experiences and memories of its previous owner. Its previous deceased owner.
