What is Kaimu: A Collection of Disturbing Dreams about?

Japanese literature is known for its unusual, disturbing, or downright scary stories, and Kyusaku Yumeno––a classic author whose name means “the eccentric dreamer”––personifies these dark elements.This second volume focuses on a set of Yumeno’s six short stories titled “Kaimu”, a word formed from the characters for “mysterious” and “dream”. These stories, each about a disturbing dream in an unusual setting, utilize imagery to create atmosphere and engage the reader’s senses.A diver in search of gold coins faces an unwanted encounter at the bottom of the sea; a hotshot pilot decides to take a joyride on a plane shrouded in superstition; a man discovers himself trapped in a tiny cage inside of a massive, seemingly deserted hospital––these and other stories are sure to delight and unsettle fans of Japanese literature and lovers of eerie, unusual stories.To serve as a learning resource for those studying Japanese, the stories are included in both English-only as well as parallel Japanese/English formats. As a bonus, over sixty translation notes have been included for readers interested in translation, or anyone seeking to gain a deeper understanding of the stories.
