A tough read at times, but Junji Ito shows incredibly unique ideas in the world of horror.theskyefull's review against another edition

Some of my favourites from this book were "Used Record", "Hanging Blimp" (included in the anime adaptation), "Marionette Mansion", "Greased". The volume also contains a story related to the "Tomie" series ("Painter").

This is the hardest read from Junji Ito... I thought the Fragments of Horror was scary but this is on another level. I'm not a light-hearted person but this truly creeped me out.
WARNING! This will bring out all kinds of phobias deep down inside of you!!!
