Once again, the creatures call.

Summer in Japan has settled into its annual pattern of heat and humidity, late afternoon thunderstorms, and the all-too-common typhoon. Which makes this the perfect time for monsters!

Personally, if I were to come back from beyond the grave, I think I’d prefer the autumnal chill of All Hallow’s Eve. Beasts raised (from the dead?) in Japan favor August and the O-bon holiday to spook strangers and visit/haunt family. Perhaps a muggy summer night is the exact thing to take off the chill of the netherworld?

The time is also perfect for Arts Rush Gallery’s The Haunted Parade • 百鬼夜行 exhibition, a group show focusing on the dark, creepily beautiful, and monstrously seductive photography, sculpture, paper art, and more from 6 dreadfully talented artists and creators. You should skulk on by if you’re in the area!
