I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Another Junji Ito worth reading. He notes that these stories were first serialized on LINE, which gave him more freedom--I could see that in his stories; I felt like he jumped around more in terms of subject and tone, and his art feels more vivid. Standouts include "Weeping Widows," "Madonna," and "Slumber."
