Reading Time # 6

2/16 Edited to

... Read more※検索で出てくる言葉がちょっと強めなので先に補足。私は「え、そう思った瞬間からの一歩…と思ったら急に別方向(いわゆる“ベッドイン”みたいな急展開)に転ぶ話」が苦手で、そういう“裏切り系”の怖さが気になるタイプです。『身の毛がよだつゾッとした話』はエロ方向に寄せるというより、読者の予想をスッと外してくる「人怖」や「後味の悪さ」でゾクッとさせる作品だと感じました。 私がこの本で良かったと思ったのは、怖さの種類が一つじゃないところ。心霊体験談もあるけど、読んでいて一番残るのは「人の言動って、ある瞬間に急にスイッチ入るよね…」みたいなリアルさでした。何気ない一歩、何気ない返事、何気ない善意が、次のページで別の意味にひっくり返る。その“そう思った瞬間”の反転がうまくて、短編でも油断できません。 あと、漫画形式なのが本当に読みやすいです。文章の怪談が得意じゃない人でも、表情や間(コマ割り)で怖さが伝わるので入りやすい。怖いのにページが進む感じ。帯に「無理無理無理…最後まで読めない。オチがヤバすぎ」「描き下ろし100P超え」「SNSで大反響」みたいな煽りがあるけど、読んでみると“ただ怖がらせるだけ”じゃなく、落とし方が丁寧で納得感がありました。 苦手な人向けの目安も書いておくと、・急に距離が詰まる展開(恋愛っぽい方向に見せかけて不穏になる)・支配/束縛っぽい人間関係・後味が残るオチ、がしんどい人は明るい時間帯に読むのがおすすめ。私は夜に読んでしまって、寝る前に部屋の物音が気になりました。 読む前に楽しめたポイントは、短編ごとに「自分ならどうする?」って考えながら読むこと。違和感のある一言とか、最初の一歩の時点で回避できたのか、読み終わったあとに振り返るとよりゾッとします。人怖・実話系ホラー漫画が好きな人、オチ重視で読みたい人はかなり刺さると思います。
