A charming fable-like novel from Japan that teaches its readers life lessons via half-fox spirit and sweet shop proprietor Kogetsu

At the end of Gloaming Lane, at the edge of the otherworld, is the Amberglow Candy Store, open only between the full moon and the new moon.

Behind the cosy caramel-timber facade is Kogetsu, the half-fox proprietor, whose wagashi confections promise to change the lives of his customers for the better.

But who is this mysterious Kogetsu? A half-fox spirit he may be. But why is he so interested in his customers' emotions? Why does each sweet have a recommended ‘dosage’?

Like the centre of the chewiest caramel, life’s most valuable teachings take time to reveal themselves, and Kogetsu’s customers are about to get a lot more than they bargained for . . .

Praise for The Amberglow Candy Store

Each story within is its own special candy, sweet and delicious! You'll want to savour each one!

Sarah Beth Durst, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Spellshop</i>

The Amberglow Candy Store seasons the sweetest and most savoury morsels of human connection with a dash of intrigue that cosy fantasy readers are bound to savour. The obvious care in Matt Treyvaud’s translation puts the cherry on top of this binge-worthy comfort treat!

M. Jean, translator of <i>Messenger Cat Café</i>

A delightful confection you’ll enjoy reaching for whenever a craving for magic, healing, and wonder strikes. But beware - its Invisible Wasanbon, Surrogate Caramels, and Enlightening Candy Apples are addictive . . .

Samantha Sotto Yambao, bestselling author of <i>Water Moon</i>

Readers will be amply rewarded with the last story, about healing candies, which breaks the mould and prompts reflection on gratitude and purpose. Recommend to readers who want leisurely stories to savour and reflect on

Library Journal

Gently translated by Japan-domiciled Australian Treyvaud, Kurisu’s charmingly approachable, warmly reassuring novel provides quite the satisfyingly toothsome treat
