Sinopsis

During the hot, dry summer of 1988, in a forgotten neighborhood known as the riverside, seventeen-year-old Shinogaki Toma is entangled in a desperate struggle against what he believes to be his fate to become his sadistic father. Consumed by a fear that he will harm his girlfriend, Toma's downward spiral into depression and instability becomes increasingly intense. Toma's mother left his father long ago and now lives nearby as a fishmonger. Using the hook that replaced the hand she lost during wartime bombings, she guts the eels Toma catches in the sewage-filled river for his father to eat. Things come to a head when Kotoko, his father's live in girlfriend, becomes pregnant and makes the decision to leave the riverside for a better life.
Translated from Japanese by Kalau Almony, Tanaka Shinya's Akutagawa Prize-winning masterpiece, Cannibals, sold over 200,000 copies in Japan and was adapted into a movie by Cannes Film Festival-winner Shinji Aoyama.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    ''After a mysterious asteroid impacts the planet Deluuvius, nameless horrors emerge from it and spread swiftly out from the crater in all directions. The planet’s primitive inhabitants come to investigate, but are attacked immediately. The people know nothing of the invaders, and that merciful ignorance is their only defense against the immortal alien abominations. Millions of years in the past, a faceless trio of incomprehensible entities emerged from a distant corner of reality and gave life to the abominations. They are the Three, and their home was a place beyond the reach of reason, but after a great struggle, they and their creations are eventually driven into the many haunted wastelands of Deluuvius. Thousands of years later, Dash, a brave individual with an uncertain youth, must travel into each of the treacherous wastelands to discover his enemies’ origins. Dash must solve the mystery of the Three in the most stunning mixture of fantasy and science fiction ever told.'' (Origin of Mystery is a pivotal work that this fully voiced audio-drama brings to life with sound-effects and original music.)
