Centennial Mud

The flood in Chennai occurs once every hundred years. After it, mountains of mud grow along the edges, in which one can find anything from a coin to a mermaid's skeleton. The heroine moves here at just such a moment. 

An atmospheric Japanese novel in which the antagonist appears as the accumulated junk of a century. A mystical and psychological story about how the past influences the present. A book for connoisseurs of atypical horror and original metaphors, as well as for those who are interested in the creative explorations of contemporary Japanese literature.
