I've been trying to get back into horror, so I chose to start with some Junji Ito, whom I've never had the pleasure of reading. And it didn't disappoint. Tombs was wonderfully creepy, macabre and strange, and I'm looking forward to reading more of Ito's works in the future. It also gave me a lot of Twilight Zone vibes.
