Description

An illustrated collection of quirky and darkly funny short stories, set mostly in contemporary Japan.

A man turns an ambulance team away after his smart watch predicts an oncoming heart attack. A commuter's attempt to tell a woman she has a white hair leads to a police arrest. Neighbourly concern leads to a hair-raising encounter with a Japanese demon.

At times speculative, at times grounded in the mundanity of the everyday, these tales explore the absurdities of modern life.

Chris Green was born in Middlesborough, UK. He has also lived in South Africa, Germany and, since 1994, Japan, where he works for an IT company.

His hobbies include writing poor haiku in Japanese and playing darts badly—but not at the same time!
