J-Horror

A Wild Sheep Chase was quite a weird read.  It just ended up being a bit weird, especially the ear-fetish
thing, though it did make me laugh a bit.  I noticed by reading through this book though, as well as watching the movie of Kwaidan, that j-horror really likes to draw out the story somewhat.  Nothing necessarily happens that's creepy or gory in any sense until the end.  It's all about the psychological horror that leads up to the climax and ending that makes j-horror what it is.  It's definitely different than what American horror is like, so it makes for an interesting viewing/reading experience.
