I thought, at first, that they had something to do with the crime committed, but then couldn't find a pattern. Wonderful and creative idea, but I wish the poses had been explained a little more. It's gradually revealed that they're drawn to spots of guilt and shame. "Earthbound" - 5/5 On day in Japan, people start to become cemented to a particular spot in strange poses. "Roar" - 3/5 Two hikers find a ghost flood, where the disastrous dam burst is recreated every day, and the man who is obsessed with it. Great twist that they're tickling everyone, and wonderful ending: they achieve world domination. "Ghosts of Prime Time" - 4/5 I actually really liked this one! A very strange comedy duo uses their spirits to ensure that they always kill. "Bloodsucking Darkness" - 3/5 A young woman develops an eating disorder after a breakup, and a student from her school decides to use his pet vampire bats to feed her while she sleeps. "Ghosts of Prime Time," "Death Row Doorbell," and "Earthbound" are also inventive and wonderful. Sometimes bad things just keep happening, and the villains win.Īnd Ito is ridiculously creative and original I had no idea what "Smashed," the title story, would be, but it was unexpected and great. What I love about Ito's stories is that there isn't always a happy ending.
