Too many cliches, too much description. (show don't tell) The narrator was too loud and voice immitation of various characters distracting.</p> I didn’t like it.

This is a rather crude retelling of a popular Japanese ghost story, first written as a kabuki play and reproduced as movies in Japan; it isn't a folktale, and it is not an original work.</p> I’m wondering, I didn’t notice in the audio, but does Ms. Foster give any credit to the original author of this story, Tsuruya Nanboku?

All too often, stories take place no where special, either do to lazy writing or trying to make the story accessible to a larger audience; losing the chance for an all important character of setting, and atmosphere.

I wonder if the husband had been taken in by the charms of a servant girl, if he would had the same fate thrust upon his body? Some how, I think not.

I would have liked the story more if the person reading had the proper accent. To me, his tone was a little too harsh.

Still a lovely great ghost story.

It had all the elements of a classic ghost story, including an appropriate revenge.</p> <p>So far, the podcast has been kind of hit-or-miss with me. I loved bag man, was kinda cold on the next couple of stories, and the flashes tend to go one way or the other.
