Throughly enjoyed Ito's version of Frankenstein. This dark, gothic classic paired well with Ito's horror style and he really got a chance to show off that body horror detail.
The collection included so much more as well.
I loved reading about Oshikiri - I had read Intruder in another of Ito's collections, but I liked learning more about his weird house and the strange and horrifying goings on.
I loved all the random extra short stories as well.

The first half is the story of Frankenstein and the rest is a collection of stories. Art is a 10/10 as always, he is a master at horror.

I just wanna say that Junji Ito is so cool cause he can take something that on a surface level, seems absolutely ridiculous, and treat it so deadly seriously that you go from 'haha what' to just 'what'.
