He won the prize and won the soft hand, the creative style is diverse, and the reasoning god ShimaDa Shoji is also moved by his works! And today, What Little K wants to recommend to you is one of his masterpieces -

The Resurrection of the Doll

Why read this book? I've summarized the following reasons for recommendation:

1

Ayatsuji's "Phantom Whisper series" was reprinted for the first time in many years, accumulating many expectations from readers.

2

The level of horror is comparable to "Stand-in", and the ending is reversed!

3

The first human work of the new Benguet reasoning, the rigorous reasoning layout and the strong horror aesthetic blend, bringing readers a sense of picture in the horror movie version!

The novel begins with an extremely cruel murder, four lost teenagers, lucky to survive one, but after two days of unconscious crawling, they are locked up in a strange bungalow in the forest...

Takuya, a young man who came to his uncle's house to write a thesis, almost hit a pair of brothers while driving. He kindly drives the brothers home, only to find the vigilance and rejection of the entire family.

The newly arrived tutor told Takuya about the strange things he saw about the family, and the two brothers developed a particularly strong affection for Takuya. As he got closer, Taku also noticed the unspeakable mother in the house, the servant who flashed his words, the confused grandmother, and the domineering father.

At the same time, the dead body was cut out of hair, the ill-intentioned man had his eyes gouged out, the evil aunt had no nails... It all points to yahi, the eldest son who is imprisoned at home by his father.

Did Yashi do it?

At night, the sound of the small footsteps of children in the hallway leads to the attic, is that Yahi's?

Who is hiding secrets, and who is harboring innocent desires with good intentions?

No spoilers, the book is not long, be sure to read it.

The climax of the story has a very wonderful reversal and reversal, and reading it will only make you marvel, it is so!

Wonderful book reviews

There are many horror plots in this series, and it is not an exaggeration to list them as horror novels, but Mr. Ayatsuji still uses the narrative tricks he does best to mislead the reader and make us fall into the trap he designed again, which is one of the reasons why I like his work and look forward to the next work in this series!

- Reader Day**

The sense of atmosphere and mystery created at the beginning of this book induces my desire to read, the story content is interlocked, the pen and ink describing the character's personality are not much but the characteristics are distinct, and the overall novel is a novel with a story higher than reasoning, which will not make the reader feel brain-burning, but with a nervous mood, the kind of pleasure and inexhaustible intention of reading in one breath.

- Reader Simple**

3. A novel worth reading, the plot is fascinating, although the reasoning part is not very innovative, but the author's writing is very good, can make the reader more immersive.
