The Red Snake

Beware the red snake! Told from the perspective of a young boy, The Red Snake is a story of the above boy, the house he inhabits, and the forest around his house that stretches on and on. The characters in the story are all mad: his grandfather, who sports a massive growth on his jaw; his grandmother, who believes she is a chicken; his father, who is vicious to the chickens he raises (except for his mother, to whom he provides eggs that so that she can claim she laid them herself); and his sister, whose affection for insects borders on the erotic. The story evolves into a classic nightmare.The Hino Horror series:Hino Horror Volume 1: The Red Snake ( Akai Hebi)Hino Horror Volume 2: The Bug Boy ( Dokumushi Kozou)Hino Horror Volume 3: Oninbo and the Bugs from Hell (!
