Children can be really creepy sometimes!
This book includes 2 stories.
The titular story involves a dead body and those who want to hide it. Their attempts go on and on until it kills the suspense. But this also added a touch of humor and absurdity. Not sure if it was intentional or not, I liked it anyway.
What I liked the best though is how the setting is full of atmosphere. the story takes place in rural Japan and the author depicts the spirit and culture pretty well.
The other story is a lot shorter. Not a complex plot here, the horror mainly comes from a single twist. However I found it actually shocking and effective thanks to the short length of the story.
Difficulty: There are a lot of descriptions. If you are at a higher intermediate or advanced level you might find the book too slow and tiresome, but if you are an intermediate learner it's a good opportunity to practice lot's of different words.
