Probably enjoyed this one more than Smashed, not quite as much as Shiver but I really enjoyed it. Creepy, spooky, fucked up, and cool. Read parts of this while it was late one night and super windy and rainy, was very creepy and really played on your paranoia, so good if you like giving yourself a scare. I’d say the first two stories and the last story in Lovesickness I liked the best but I liked all of Lovesickness. Narumi’s Boyfriend, The Mansion of Phantom Pain and The Rib Woman were probably my fave stories excluding Lovesickness. Keen to do some more Ito again.
