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

Now, this one was gross. Not in a bad way either. The oil chapter had my stomach turning and bile tingling up throat; I Hate grease with a passion. It did what was intended. I still feel ill as of writing this review. And I rather liked the hanging story and the puppet one too.
Perhaps I need to find a way to make a collection of my own, filled with the short stories of Ito's I actually adore.

<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).
