Part of Series
继《姑获鸟之夏》、《魍魉之匣》后，京极堂系列第三部。 连续杀死丈夫四次的女人朱美，一个有强迫症的精神科医生，一个不信神的牧师。梦境与现实纠缠在三个人之间，奇怪的事情一再发生。 在海上漂流的黄金骷髅头，深山中发生的集体自杀事件。这些看似毫不相关的人各自被怪异的梦境所苦…接二连三发生的诡异事件却将他们一一串连起来……到底什么是梦境、什么又是真实？错综复杂的谜团，却在书末有最干净明快的答案。 “狂骨”即为「发狂的骸骨」，论者认为，由于过去典籍并无「狂骨」此类怪物，因此应为热爱创造妖怪的鸟山石燕所创造，他在《今昔画图百鬼拾遗》中这么形容：骷髅头下挂着单薄的骨架，尽管披挂的长白发看似女性，身体轮廓却隐约不可辨识，总在井中的汲水桶中以双手垂放、身下无脚的幽灵姿态现身。 后来在江户时期变成固定的怪物，相传为被弃尸在井中的冤死者，化为妖怪后总在井边出现，遇到人便会叫他「喝水吧」，路人若依言喝水，便可无事离去；若不听，则狂骨会舞动全身骨骸以示人，据闻听到其骨节撞击声者便会发狂投井身亡。
