I felt little or no vicarious fear as I read the book. Can you recommend any other Japanese horror or sci-fi books?Mel uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714473754458914681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879483355240373611.post-29245387045584586422009-08-21T10:13:32.166+08:002009-08-21T10:13:32.166+08:00Hi Charlie!
