My first time reading Junji Ito, and I am in awe, I am in love (as much as one can love things like this)... The stories are original, creative and excellently drawn with an eye for creepy details, there's literally nothing to complain (other than I wish the book had been longer lol). My favourite stories were Earthbound, Bloodsucking Darkness and The Mystery of the Haunted House / Tsujii family stories.

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!
