Fun ghost story!

This book seems like it will be a collection of short stories but they all tie together at the end. Definitely not as difficult as Morimi Tomihiko's other novels. I really enjoyed it!

The language and style are straightforward and there are no particular difficulties of vocabulary that I noticed.
