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.

The Tombs story itself is excellent and the rest of the collected stories was varied and interesting. It's a bunch of horrifying tales and so many of them are so weird in the best ways.

After reading Tomie, I was burnt out from the same premise happening over and over again, as well as the misogyny. This collection truly shook me out of that and I'm excited to check out more Junji Ito again.
