A Wild Sheep Chase is a fairly interesting story. Usually when you hear that something is J-Horror you think of a very very dirty young girl with extremely long unwashed hair and a knack for showing up in odd places. Such as a TV screen, computer screen, and a bathtub. This was much more interesting than that though, at least when compared to whats normally expected from this sort of thing.
First off he's not really being threatened or chased by anything really all that evil. He's on a quest to find a wild sheep and really put meaning and excitement to his otherwise mundane life. The first few chapters of the book are spent established showing us the other people in his life, which is odd since he attends a funeral of an ex-girlfriend, the same day sees his ex-wife waiting for him at his house, then later we see him with his current girlfriend with the nice ears. The book never really hits scary territory, but it does involve a supernatural force that seems to have no way of ending it. Overall though it was a pretty interesting book.
