This is so different from all the other Junji Ito work I’ve read. It’s the body horror and psychological horror are fantastic. May be my favorite anthologies so far. 

Blood, Sweat, and Pixels: The Triumphant, Turbulent Stories Behind How Video Games Are Made by Jason Schreier

informative medium-paced

3.0

This was not my favorite but it did give insight on a lot of different video game producers and some idea of what the industry as a whole is like. 

I do wish it was more worker-centered rather than top down.
