Blood on the Tracks

血の轍

Chi no Wadachi

Seiichi Osabe is in his second year of middle school. He lives with his parents. His mother Seiko fusses over him constantly. She is warm and attentive and perhaps a little too close. From the outside it looks like an ordinary and loving family. Then small moments begin to feel wrong. The story stays tightly inside Seiichi's head as he tries to read his mother's face. Blood on the Tracks is a slow psychological horror story about a parent and a child. It builds dread through silence and long stares and very detailed faces. It is for readers who can handle a disturbing and claustrophobic drama about a smothering parent. There are no monsters here. The horror is entirely human.
