A collection of short contemporary paranormal horror stories (a mirror that lets you see and extract evil out of people; a curse-doll falling into the hands of a lazy mangaka; a TV actress who disappears before filming her final scene; a newlywed who keeps encountering a flower whose fragrance everyone else loves, but that repulses her; and a cat-phobic teen cursed by a classmate's pet) by celebrated mangaka Rumiko Takahashi (InuYasha, Maison Ikkoku, Mermaid Saga, Ranma 1/2), followed by a manga-ized account of how she got into making manga.
I enjoyed the first short story most, though it was nice that most of the endings were not what you might expect, and the biographical bit was an interesting glimpse into the industry and its development from the 60s on. An entertaining episodic read for fans of light horror in general or Takahashi in particular.
