Osamu Tezuka unleashes several creepy suspenseful short stories in this anthology of speculative fiction spanning the years 1968 and 1973. 1) When a Nazi lieutenant is sentenced to death for war crimes, he expects to escape with his life, but hubris is his downfall. 2) A female android marries for love but is soon lost, and she must deal with the consequences. 3) After a married man finds out his city is being experimented on, he tries to save the people while struggling with adulterous thoughts. 4) On a dark and lonely road, a cabby picks up a shady man who threatens him, but little does his passenger know the cabby is not as he seems. 5) An educated man falls in love with an elusive woman who has a life-altering secret. 6) American school kids learn the cruelty of war. 7) A revolutionary fails his revolution, and 8) An interstellar peace conference does not yield the hoped-for results when space hippies defy peace conventions. These eerie stories will leave one wandering the depths of despair and hope against all odds.

Life and death, twists and turns, Tezuka Osamu combines classic heart with the depth and mystery of The Twilight Zone in this beautiful, startling collection. The Crater is a series of horror-inspired, self-containing short stories that show the depravity of mankind in a way only the “god of manga” can. Tales range from the world of nymphs and interdimensional adventures, to deadly spiders on planes and depictions of apocalyptic futures. While some stories loosely connect, each story is its own carefully laid experience. Tezuka will chill readers with dark visages of the world counterpointed with his amazing art style that has influenced fans for decades.
