Where I Got It: Library
An old wooden mansion that turns on its inhabitants. A dissection class with a most unusual subject. A funeral where the dead are definitely not laid to rest. Ranging from the terrifying to the comedic, from the erotic to the loathsome, these stories showcase Junji Ito’s long-awaited return to the world of horror.
Another collection of short horror stories from Ito.
Futon - Very creepy with a fun twist at the end.
Wooden Sprit - Meh. Not a fan of the weird sexual nature to this one.
Tomio * Red Turtleneck - Fun and gory, but the ending was weak.
Gentle Goodbye - Very sorrowful story.
Dissection-chan - Jumbled and weird, but not in the good way.
Blackbird - My favorite from the collection, very trippy and creepy.
Magami Nanakuse - Not sure what we were going for with this one.
Whispering Woman - Slow descent into madness.
