First Junji Ito read!! 
I loved some of these stories, but others were just meh. Definitely intrigued to pick up more of his work though!

All the short stories are unique in their own way, terrifying and sad and, in a few cases, kind of funny (in a morbid way of course). 
‘Death Row Doorbell’ is the saddest and the realest tale, and the haunted house/Soichi tales were the most exciting.
Every story starts and ends with a bang. I never tire of Junji Ito’s works.
