Okay so this author really nails creepy and weird without being...like outwardly creepy.

Well between this, Inside Mari, and Flower of Evil we've gotten a lot of weirdness coming from Shuzo. But in this he takes a really simple concept and makes it...creepy. So Seiichi Osabe is our main character here and we slowly learn about his life. Going to school, having friends, his crush, and...HIS MOM. Why is his mom so special?

Well she loves Seiichi Osabe a bit TOO much. No, not incest way you weirdos. You thought I was going there, huh? Goddamn you Game of Thrones.

But the fact she always will protect her child. Now having a little girl I feel the same but she's so overprotecting that even her best friend makes fun of her a little. So anyway, Seiichi Osabe feels a little off put by all that "love". But the story progresses and the deeper get into the family dynamic the more uneasy you become until the last 30-40 pages or so. Then...well lets just say this jumps from 0 to 100 real quick.

Real life horror is my favorite type. No need for a big monster, or gory deaths, when people do horrible things to each other and you can see it every day. Blood on tracks tells a rather ordinary tale with the offbeat atmosphere and gives you the chills. And while it might seem a tad boring at first getting to know the family it moves at a brisk pace and the ending will leave you wanting more.

A 4 out of 5.
