This collection is similar to Ito's Frankenstein, in that it's split into two parts. The first is centred around a town in which people go to crossroads to ask people to tell them their fortune. The second is a collection of short stories. Both seem to be mostly older works of his. As expected with Ito's work, a lot of stuff goes unexplained lmao, but for me it's the absurdity combined with the grotesque imagery that I find enjoyable. In any way, I had a good time reading this one and I hope those who end up picking it up when it comes out will do so too :)

It's is probably not a good idea to read this at midnight... in the dark...

Will report back in about an hour or two lol!
update: fell asleep lmao

Also, thank you Viz for letting me read an online advanced copy of this one! :)
