Associative Horror
Ups the ante of 6 by partially merging horror with activity books. The prose chapters are once again beautifully written and highly enjoyable, while the gimmick chapters explore new ways to tell horror stories and very much succeed in that, in my opinion. Be warned, though, that the literary and sometimes even archaic writing style of the book makes it very difficult at times, so much so that it gave even some native speakers a headache.
Still, for the most part I found it to competently walk the line between needlessly verbose and thrillingly immersive, with one or two chapters being very obviously stretched out to reach a full novel length (though for this price I'm not exactly complaining). Nashi has a way with words that's especially effective when describing environments and mood, and there is a thread of sweaty, twisted disgust running through the whole book that should be delightful to any horror fan.
If you work through the crossword chapter, for example, or even better work through with a friend, it becomes a captivating experience that unveils its horror in ways that simply aren't possible for linear narratives. I had a lot of fun with "finding" the horror here myself and can recommend it to anyone who is interested in more experimental forms of storytelling and spinning tales off of a prompt as simple as "box".
