I'm looking for reviewers for one of my older stories: Shireishi. It went under the radar when I initially released it, so I'm curious about what people think of it now. Here's the description as it currently stands on Amazon:
During the fall of 2015, a mysterious application named “Shireishi” begins to circulate throughout the town of Nishioka, claiming to put its users in contact with a ghost known by the same name. While seemingly harmless, a number of disappearances and reports of violent behavior begin to be linked to people who use the application. Many of the incidents center around Hikarimirai Academy, leading to the involvement of several students in the unfolding chaos.
Shireishi is an anthology of short stories that detail the Shireishi Incident from different perspectives. Each story has its own protagonist and viewpoint character.
The book consists of three multi-chapter short stories or novelettes. The first two I'd describe as almost horror stories, or potentially "suspense". They focus on a gradual buildup of the threat against an almost slice-of-life backdrop. The third story has elements of mystery, almost like an occult detective story. Each story is connected into the overarching plot of the collection.
The book is currently only available in digital formats. If necessary, I can provide a review copy in exchange for a detailed and honest review.

Here is the link to the book on Goodreads. That page should have links to the Amazon Kindle page for the book as well.
