Yosei-tachi no kyoen [A Banquete of the Fairies.]

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A creepy folklore story set against the moonlit gardens and rivers of rural Japan, Yosei-tachi no Kyoen (A Banquet of the Fairies) is a chilling stand-alone story woven from the darkest strands of myth and memory.

A Japanese horror short story Inspired by, and heavily reminiscent of classic Japanese animated fantasy...

Six-year-old Haruki only wanted to help feed the river spirits. The offerings to the Yokai [Spirits/Fairies] are a cherished tradition - a way to keep the mischievous creatures content and protect his family's land. But when a polite, smiling figure rises from the black water, Haruki discovers that there are more than just the Yokai [spirits] waiting to be fed...

Part of the "Darkmaw Grim fantasy short stories" series, this tale drifts beyond reality into the thin places where old promises still bind - and ancient hungers never die.

Like the rest of the Darkmaw series, this story was transcribed directly from an actual dream of the author.

In this Twisted fairy tale, the first question one must ask when attending a banquet is not "what" but "Who" is on the menu.
