Me and my fear of dolls were chilling until Junji Ito created a short story about goddamn cooking oil that made my skin crawl. This man can do anything.
The king of horror manga is at it again.
Scratch that: I’m at it again, catching up on his work.
This collection was just- weird and gross and unique in the best ways. Everything I’ve come to expect from Ito and his mangas. The variety in the types horror he presents -especially in his short story collections- is fantastic.
If you’ve got trypophobia, be weary because this book will make you uncomfy. Funny enough, I’m afraid of dolls, and there was a puppet story in here that played perfectly into my fears. I loved it nonetheless!
There's something about Junji Ito's art style that conveys horror unlike anyone else. He's one of my favourite manga authors for sure; this collection was awesome!
