Zona Fantasma by Junji Ito

one of his better collections. this is the last of Junji Ito I'll be reading for a while since I've read almost every horror story he has ever published and I'm glad I ended it with this one. the stories are short but memorable and unique. I think my favorite was Slumber, the final chapter in the volume because of how mysterious it was. we were left to guess the plot twist instead of having it told to us. I did need some more explanation at the end but reading that one was most enjoyable.

It's very short and has some of my favorite stories but not really that relevant compared to his other work.
