A high school kid drifts through his days, hollowed out and unable to connect with anyone. Then he starts reaching for things that numb him: pills, booze, his own self-destruction. Years pass this way. Three chapters, three versions of a man slowly erased from his own life, until he ends up alone, barely a person anymore. Elsewhere in this anthology, a mountain bandit kills a traveler and drags the man's wife off into the woods. Within minutes she stops crying and takes control, and he becomes the obedient one, a servant, a dog on a leash. Her requests get stranger and crueler each time. In another tale a painter commissioned to fill a screen with the torments of Buddhist hell can't paint what he hasn't witnessed, so he starts creating those horrors for real. In yet another, the Buddha himself lowers a single spider's thread into the pit, one last chance for a criminal who once spared an insect. Six stories pulled from Japan's modern classics, all obsessed with guilt, obsession, and the dark corners people keep hidden. Can a man who destroyed himself ever be worth saving?
