Mu Legendary Novel Grand Award
旅芝居怪談双六
A supernatural novel that combines a traveling theater troupe with the atmosphere of ghost stories. Scenes advance like spaces on a sugoroku board, linking itinerant performance, local entanglements, and the fears people carry within them.
Work Information
Each time the traveling stage opens, the ghost story advances another square and the place reveals its old entanglements.
Tabi Shibai Kaidan Sugoroku links itinerant theater with ghostly tales. Its sugoroku-like structure follows a troupe through places marked by memory and obsession, creating the sensation that stage performance and the uncanny are overlapping.
Review Summaries
-
The pairing of ghostly material with old-fashioned itinerant performance gives the work its flavor. It is better suited to readers who enjoy folk-tale unease than to those looking for a showy puzzle.
