Book pitch
Title: 赤い悪夢 (5分後に意外な結末)
Japanese level: I dunno my middle schoolers read it. I read the first two stories with little to no difficulty and I don’t read much.
Synopsis: An anthology of short stories that are in the horror/mystery/SF genre. They are generaly suppose to take 5 minutes to read for a native Japanese person. This is the blurb from Amazon Japan:
SF、ホラー、ミステリー。くすっと笑える話、ぞっとする話、感動する話。ページにして数ページ、5分程度の時間で読めて、最後に「あっと驚くドンデン返し」。そんなショートショートを集めたアンソロジー。、朝読にも最適な一冊。
Why it might be a good choice:
- As they are short stories, they are easier to read, also more chances to feel accomplished after every small story.
-The first two stories were interesting, and it has good reviews.
-first two stories had easy Japanese, so I assume more of it does.
-Some stories will be familier as the second story is the I think famous, " monkey’s paw."
Why it might be a bad choice:
-some stories will be familier.
-other reasons I am not sure about?
