Junji Ito is a visual storyteller and his stories are like reading a nightmare come to life. If you're someone who needs a logical explanation for the supernatural elements of a story, then this probably isn't a book you'll enjoy. The stories are driven by vibes, creepy vibes, and awesome artwork. It's a quick read; you could go the whole collection in one afternoon if you really wanted to. It is absolutely worth a read for horror fans. Though I enjoyed the Shiver collection of Junji Ito works better, but there's still a lot to enjoy in this collection of stories.
