I loved the first story, but the rest weren't as good as Uzumaki and the other short stories I've read from Ito. I wish the first one was a whole book as I got super invested. A lot of the stories ended abruptly unfortunately. The one with the statue, the one with the tunnel and the one with the exposure of inner thoughts were good. As always the drawings are amazing! Several of these stories made me feel very disgusted (like the snail one) which unfortunately is not the kind of horror I'm into.
