The Graveyard Apartment: A Novel by Mariko Koike
4.0
“We’re too busy living to worry about people who are already dead; that’s all there is to it. I’ve managed to make it this far by believing that when people die, they’re gone forever, and I’m certainly not going to start believing in ghosts at this point.”
The Graveyard Apartment
By Marino Koike
Translated by Deborah Boliver Boehm
QUICK SUMMARY 🖊️
A young family move into an apartment building situated next to a graveyard and they soon learn about the history of the area when strange things start taking place.
FINAL THOUGHTS 💭
I am really glad I spoke with @curiously.katt before just up and deciding to DNF this one. Because I did totally love the atmosphere the story gave. It’s more than just a haunted house (apartment) story.
What was an issue for me, mostly at the beginning is I believe a translation issue more so than anything else. Although this mostly seemed to be a me issue at the beginning. As the story went on I noticed it less and less.
