Description
...I had seen and would remember. For me, there was an exit into the sunlight. But for them, there is no way out of those caves... Humor, the eeriness of the supernatural, and the horror of war weave through this strange tale, set in Kobe, of a friend’s mental breakdown that leads the narrator on a bewildering and unnerving journey; an odyssey through time that ends on the battlefield of Okinawa.

Spooky tale of battlefield ghosts...
Turri's novel is an interesting take on the standard ghost story. Set in Japan and with two westerners as the main characters Turri weaves a story that will make you think again when you visit a past battlefield.
Turri lives in Japan and his descriptions of modern day Japan are vivid. The characters and dialogue are credible creating an empathy with both of the main characters as the story progresses from mainland Japan to the blood soaked soil of Okinawa.
I'm not normally one for the supernatural novel, but I kept with this book as I wasn't sure where it was going. Overall an unexpected and entertaining read.
