七個故事，黑暗戰慄的七天。 人心的恐懼與罪惡彷彿是寄生在人類心裡的水銀蟲， 它們啃噬人心，引誘人一步步走向不可測的結局…… 人心最脆弱的瞬間，也是邪惡力量開始茁壯的時候…… 意志消沉的男人，被指稱自己身上背負著看不見的『冤孽』？ 孤單的少年，意外闖進了一個豢養著『怪物』的空間？ 散播自殺病毒的妙齡少女，其實正病態地享受著死亡的快感？ 失去孫子的祖母，費盡心機想要延續祖孫之情，而方法竟然是…… 藉著對人性的細膩洞察，『直木賞』得獎名家朱川湊人以既溫暖又哀傷的筆調，勾勒出人心在七情六慾下所呈現出來的幽深黑暗面，只是，在所有瘋狂與驚駭的背後，不是源自愛情或親情的基底，就是仍隱隱透著純真善良的微光，而這些矛盾與衝突，或許也正是人間最真實的眾生相！

每次我跟別人提到那隻奇妙生物的事，都沒有人願意相信。 小孩子最容易將現實與幻想混為一談--大多數的人不是對此付諸一笑，就是認為我在杜撰故事，而以不甚友善的眼神回看我。那都無所謂。反正被當作是胡謅，對我也無傷。 而我自己呢，或許是真的很想把它忘掉也說不定。事實上，這種事忘了也好。如果它能隨時間的流逝而在記憶裡消失，那該有多輕鬆啊！ 可是，為什麼我始終無法忘懷呢？ 那生物在手掌間留下的溫暖，那彷彿要滲入肌膚裡的黏著濕氣───為什麼無法忘記？ 就是因為有時太過渴望它了吧 。好比今晚這種時刻－－耳邊聽著孩子熟睡的鼾聲，自己卻輾轉難眠以至只能雙眼盯著黑闇的此般漫漫長夜。 那一天，在國營電車的高架橋下，那名男子稱呼它為「妖精生物」…… －－摘自〈妖精生物〉 日本知名作家一致推薦： 石田衣良形容本書作者是「在社會這個無趣世界中，欲讓幻想之花綻開的最高藝人。」 井上廈盛讚：「這部作品的價值，在於沒有任何一篇是不值得看的小說。」 五木寬之評薦：「作者具有令人聯想起昭和初期新興藝術派風格的獨特才華，看似古舊卻又新穎，看似新穎卻又夾雜懷古情趣。 津本陽表示：「作者的文中有濃厚色彩。這種色彩並非任何人都可以創出，完全基於作者的感性。」 本書由6篇短篇小說組合而成，以昭和30、40年代的大阪貧民區為舞台，是一部追憶兒時離奇異事的都市怪談。篇名如下：〈精靈之夜〉、〈妖精生物〉、〈摩訶不思議〉、〈花食〉、〈送終婆〉、〈凍蝶〉。 內容集合了異端者的故事，被排擠到社會邊緣的人的故事。透過小孩童的靈異經驗來突顯人之生與死的問題、親情愛情之眷戀等等。發生的雖是恐怖或悲劇的事件，卻透露著人性的溫柔與溫暖。 全書以文字營造出獨特的哀愁氛圍，在詭異的情節中融合了淡淡的哀傷，構築起特有而哀美感覺的恐怖世界。

HR Giger first received acclaim in the 1960s with his airbrushed fantasy landscapes. However, he scored his breakthrough in applied art, and particularly in his high-profile movie work on Ridley Scott's "Alien". In 1980, he received an Oscar for "Best Achievement for Visual Effects" for his designs of the film's title creature and its otherworldly environment. His other celebrated film projects include "Poltergeist II", "Alien 3" and "Species", for which he designed a deadly but beautiful half-extraterrestrial female creature and a fantastic nightmare train. Giger's album covers for Debbie Harry and Emerson, Lake and Palmer were voted as being among the top hundred in music history by music journalists, while furniture designed by Giger graces a bar in Chur, Switzerland. This book was designed by the artist himself, and features detailed commentaries in which Giger describes his work from the early 1960s to the late 1990s; the authentic voice of the master.
