Takoyaki Tales

An illustrated collection of quirky and darkly funny short stories, set mostly in contemporary Japan. At times speculative, at times grounded in the mundanity of the everyday, these tales explore the absurdities of modern life.

An illustrated collection of quirky and darkly funny short stories, set mostly in contemporary Japan.

A man turns an ambulance team away after his smart watch predicts an oncoming heart attack. A commuter's attempt to tell a woman she has a white hair leads to an arrest. Neighbourly concern leads to a hair-raising encounter with a Japanese demon.

At times speculative, at times grounded in the mundanity of the everyday, these tales explore the absurdities of modern life.
