Despite the fact that I liked this collection the least out of everything I've read from Junji Ito, I really, really enjoyed Tomio • Red Turtleneck and Gentle Goodbye. Both stories were 4.75 stars. The rest of the collection was hit or miss.

Definitely an amazing set of short stories but my favorite has gotta be The Whispering Woman

Needless to say. My favorite Manga artist, my favorite story teller. Lovely, creepy, messed up collection. Amazing

A bit of a mixed bag, as usual with Ito I suppose.
