The Eater of Dreams

Interconnected stories explore the haunting effects of the past on diverse characters, including teachers, singers, and misfits. A woman reflects on her lost child while observing a friend's daughter, while another grapples with a stalker from her past. Themes of trauma and memory are prevalent, as a student's bullying experience triggers painful childhood recollections for a woman, and a grieving teacher in Japan is visited by the ghost of Lafcadio Hearn. These narratives reveal deep emotional struggles and the complexity of human relationships.
