I'm at the halfway mark writing my new book that will be a collection of my retellings and re-imaginings of the more "horror and dark" tales of old Japan -- more obscure ones, too! All's going well, but I get to pitch ideas for artists and artwork styles to the publisher (next week!) and I just thought everyone probably is a lot more well connected (and smarter) than I am, so I thought I'd ask.

The book will be for adults, like I said, horror and dark stories so we want to move away from Ghibli-esque and kawaii.
