Hello everyone. The last two books I read and have really enjoyed were Confessions by Kanae Minato and Audition by Ryu Marukami.
I guess I’m looking for good reads from Japanese authors since lately I’ve been on a binge and the movies I watched and enjoyed recently was Monster, Perfect Days, Typhoon Club, and River. I’ve read most of Haruki Murakami’s works and would like some books from other Japanese authors. (If you have movie recommendations too you can send them my way as well.)

Have you seen the movie adaptation of Audition? It’s better than the book imo
“Battle Royale” by Koushun Takami is probably the best Japanese horror novel I could recommend. The movie was good, but the book is amazing.
“No Longer Human” by Osamu Dazai isn’t a horror novel, but it has about the same effect as one. Might be the most devastating book I’ve read. Junji Ito did a manga adaptation of it as well.
