*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.
This volume contains three stories:
- Prodigy: Orochi follows a baby through his life to see how things will turn out and try to help him.
- Home: Orochi goes with a man who left his home village and returns after many years.
- Key: Orochi gets a new apartment to observe the people who live there.
While these premises seem simple, Umezz makes each one disturbing. This has such a Tales from the Crypt vibe and I love it. The second story has to be based on that Twilight Zone episode with the evil boy with powers and the third is a play on The Boy Who Cried Wolf. These are not criticisms, they’re cool retellings with their own style. This collection is good even though there’s some clunky dialog here and there. 4.5 out of 5.
