My first approach to horror this year and loved it!
A lot of body horror and some of the scenes/storylines were incredibly sad. 

I was expecting to notice spirals everywhere around me after reading it but sadly, I am either not close to spirals in my day to day life or I simply don't care to notice.

This was just incredible. I loved the way that the art style went from straight lines and as the characters devolved into insanity, there was way more curvature until everything was a spiral. The way that those artistic elements played into the plot was just masterful

Uzumaki by Junji Ito is a whirlwind horror read that picks up spectacularly in tension, terror, and mystery the further you probe into it. Every issue is just so imaginative and unique. Very rarely was I ever able to figure out what would happen next.
