Well. That didn't flinch one smallest bit - and stayed human doing it. Holy crap.

I loved the first two volumes but this one... It was just too relentlessly horrifying in that way that makes me feel tense and terrible, rather than deliciously creeped out or amped up on adrenaline. The horror is also, basically, real life. These are things that can happen in our world, minus a little supernatural window dressing. It made worse because the story really drags in some areas (especially the end scenes) which made the horrifyingness pretty unbearable for me. I really hope the next volume is more like the first two.
