Book description
Beautiful, haunting, and grotesque, The Carp-Faced Boy and Other Tales offers stories reminiscent of traditional Japanese folktales alongside contemporary horror fiction. Matsuura's unique voice, in its poignancy and lightheartedness, is unforgettable.From the Introduction by Bram Stoker Award Winner Author Gene O'Neill: I have Thersa Matsuura's name underlined on the side of my fridge. I will watch for her byline. As I'm sure, you, the reader of this collection will, too.Cover Art by Daniele Serra
