It was really fun to translate this story. Not only did we read Kurahashi in Dr. Copeland's "Demonic Women" class, but this story is also a revised version of one of my translations for her "Lost In Translation" class. I owe her a lot, I really do. ^_^ The nice thing about staying in Japan during the summer is that all the bookstores have set up special displays of ghost stories and other horror literature. Sometimes I don't even know what I'm buying, but I feel like it's good to stock up. Constant vigilance! Thank you so much! It was really fun to translate this story.

What a great story! It feels like those spooky old-timey Japanese tales, so cozy. I have to say, as a fellow translator my favorite part is the mountain of corpses description. Grossness is so underrated as a tonal skill. This site is such a great idea--I hope you have time do more! It's great just to see what kind of things you are reading too. That is so exciting. You know all these spooky corners of Japanese literature, I should check out more Ms Kurihashi. (Did we read her in Prof. Copeland's class back in the Kyoto days?) --Marianne This is amazing!
