Junji Ito is a literal genius! What I appreciate the most about the manga is that he leaves author notes about the stories; how he came up with the plots, and provides sketches with descriptions. Now he writes about "inescapable horror," which are basically stories with plots that really have no explanation of how they came to be. To get an idea, I would suggest watching the anthology anime. The fact there are more stories in the manga really makes you appreciate his artistry and storytelling.
<SPOILER> and CW: There is blood, dismemberment, and gore. I like to think there is a brief mention before it happens. There is also a story with a brief mention of maybe psychosis, but most definitely images of suicide (hanging).
