I enjoyed this yokai-filled novel by Charles Kowalski, which I finished reading last night. Its many humorous touches include the best radius-and-ulna joke ever. Incidentally, Charles will be giving a presentation on worldbuilding at JapanWritersCon in Nagoya next month.

Looking forward to seeing many of my fellow Japan-based writers in Nagoya next weekend! goconnect.jp/stories/global…
