ZOO by Otsuichi

There's nothing more bizarre than the human zoo.; Welcome to the human zoo.; Take a peek inside the cage.; In the human zoo, it's hard to tell who has the keys to the cage. A man receives a photo of his girlfriend every day in the mail...so that he can keep track of her body's decomposition. A deathtrap that takes a week to kill its victims. Haunted parks and airplanes held in the sky by the power of belief. These are just a few of the stories by Otsuichi, Japan's master of dark fantasy.
