It's always hard to judge anthologies as a whole because of course some stories included are so much better than others, but I really like the overall tone of this one.

Torihada is a collection of short stories, most of the times about something creepy of slightly unsettling happening during and ordinary day in an ordinary life. Sometimes it kind of skirts the line between natural and supernatural, so you could call it an even mix of thriller, horror and urban legend-like surprise endings. Sometimes the conclusion really goes to unexpected places, and even when you can sort of tell in what direction the story is going, getting to the end is still delightfully creepy. What I like the most is that you can take some stories pretty much at face value but most of them have a deeper meaning/social commentary tone that make them even creepier.

You'll get no ghosts, creeping hair or monsters (unless you count the neighbors hehe), but you'll still get a scarily fun time out of it.
