tanukigrrl's Book Journey
I imagine if Welcome to Night Vale was set in Japan, it would be a lot like this book. The stories are about a mundane neighborhood where even the extraordinary is just part of everyday life.
There are periods when gravity just...stops working. There was that one time an embassy opened up in town, and everyone spent three years living underground, only to immediately forget about it once the embassy closed down. There are strange buildings on the edge of town tied to only the purest emotions that all fell into disrepair, with the exception of the building for joy, which is kept standing solely by the fact that a pack of dogs plays in there.
The stories are delightfully odd.

It's definitely a really neat book! The stories are just so matter-of-fact, like the narrator is just telling you stories about where they grew up. Except, you know. It's weird. 😂
