 I think my real discomfort with this book stems from visiting Thailand as a Christian, and for the first time in my life seeing pagan/animist shrines casually displayed in public. 

 This book is engagingly written, and mostly seems to present the foxes as another type of creature--not necessarily supernatural so much as mysterious and not in our current scientific data. But the inclusion of fox shrines in the story made it hard to shake the creepy feeling that I know what's really behind the legends being retold here, and that I don't like it.
