The old law of ‘an eye for an eye’ leaves everybody blind. – Martin Luther King Jr. Revenge. If you are a power-seeker, revenge can be a tool to remind others not to mess with you. Revenge can also be a way to keep order in a society where rules are weak. But revenge can come at a price. It can be a rusty knife in your back that leaves you dwelling on a spot, unable to move on, an unhappy disfigurement of shame. This collection of short stories, Revenge, puts together 25 very human responses to feeling slighted. Those who can't let go become the prisoners of revenge. But, those who can, can find a positive sense of direction and a new, liberating mission. The collection of short stories weaves itself around the idea of revenge. How to see revenge coming, and how to flee. The desire to take revenge, the guilt, and the confusion. It is all here.

復讐という根源的な衝動を二十五通りの業として描く本作は、単なる復讐劇を超えた心理の深淵を覗かせます。秩序を保つための力と、己の魂を蝕む錆びた短刀という二面性。執着の牢獄で喘ぐ人々の姿は読者の倫理観を激しく揺さぶり、許しと破滅の境界線を鮮烈に浮かび上がらせます。 映像版が放つ視覚的なカタルシスに対し、原作は映像で削ぎ落とされがちな内面的な困惑や罪悪感を克明に刻んでいます。映像の動的な緊張感と活字による内省的な深み。この相乗効果こそが、負の連鎖を断ち切り、新たな生を見出すための真の解放を私たちに突きつけるのです。
