AHHH OBSESSION. I've heard amazing things about Junji Ito and I was NOT disappointed by this book of short stories. This felt like the adult version of the book of scary stories I had as a kid. It's truly disturbing stuff and so well drawn and plotted. The images just STAY in your head afterwards. They feel like the kind of stories you could tell around the campfire but the images add a whole new amazing layer. Overall, a phenomenal achievement and I'd love to read more!!
