![]() Snails have spiral-shaped shells, after all. The one that stuck out the most to me in this volume was the people who turn into snails. It’s just that there’s so many stories to tell about this town of 6,000. Volume Two is rather episodic in nature, much like Volume One. The really creepy part is that in my dream I was totally unconcerned about this aberration, much like the girl seems to think the spiral is perfectly normal, that it in fact makes her better. I had a dream once where there was a hole in my face. And the scar sort of bores into her head so that she has this ever-growing spiral going deeper and deeper into her head. In one chapter, a girl has a crescent-shaped scar in the center of her forehead that spontaneously becomes a spiral-shaped scar. It’s such an incredibly clever concept, that an obsession with a shape can take on paranormal aspects such that it truly is quite spooky. ![]() The book features a town called Kurozu-cho that is being haunted by spirals. All month long in October, we will post reviews of books with spooky themes, whether outright horror or just uncanny. ![]()
