Discussion Guidelines

• Please blur/hide any major events in the current week’s pages (however early they occur), like so:

• (that’s [spoiler]text here[/spoiler]).

• If you have a question about grammar, vocab, the story, cultural things or anything else related to the book — ask! There’s no need to be shy. If it’s something you are wondering about, chances are someone else will be thankful you asked first, lots of people enjoy answering questions, you learn something new, and the thread gets more lively. It’s a win-win on all fronts!

Participation Poll

• I’m reading along!
• I’m reading at my own pace
• I’m reading this after the book club has finished

長い廊下

Oh, the classic abandoned hospital horror tale.

Personally I found the “ghost story within the ghost story” about the guy that took the medical record from the hospital, would get phone calls and suddenly appear at the hospital more interesting than the actual one with the nurse chasing them in the endless corridor.

I wish the nurse itself had more of a development of some sort, which (in my mind) would have been more scary. I blame that expectation on years of playing Silent Hill

長い廊下 reminded me a lot of the movie Grave Encounters (which is not very good, but also features an abandoned hospital). Especially with the endless corridor.

Yes, same, I was expecting something similar to happen to them, like they became patients in the hospital, but no, they just ran away from the nurse for a while.
