I knew going in that it was going to be creepy and scary, but I was not ready for the level of disturbing that each story was. I still have nightmares. Ito is so good at making such unique stories that I have never ever seen or heard before, but he goes places you shouldn't go. Don't read this until you're mentally prepared!

Truly a scary, gory book! This book had me all tensed up as I was reading it and had to take breaks bc it was so unsettling. Really liked it but didn't like how some characters seemingly learned plot details that were important from thin air. Also had weird pacing.
