Another great set of stories from Junji Ito :) I really enjoyed lovesickness. There was a lot of surprises that really brought more depth to the story!

jag fattade att den skulle vara ”skräck” men mer blod, mer sår, mer smärta, mer självmord, mer död, mer monster, mer spöken, mer mer mer … mer av allt det läskiga gör inte en bok läskigare. snarare fånig. inte min typ av bok antar jag men bilderna var fina i alla fall (ja, så fina blodiga monster kan bli)

First I've read by Ito and some stories were better than others as with any anthology. His art style pairs quite nicely with the spooky content

Provavelmente o volume que menos gostei até agora das coletâneas do Junji Ito que a P&N tá lançando.

Esse volume é na maior parte composto pela história que deu seu título: Mortos de Amor. Essa história nunca me atraiu muito e eu sempre achei o capítulo extra desnecessário, afinal acho que o que faz os contos do Junji Ito funcionarem tão bem é eles terminarem de forma chocante e deixar a imaginação do leitor completar o resto.

Depois temos dois capítulos que seguem os irmãos Hikizuri. O Ito adora famílias bizarras! Eu também gosto delas mas 6 crianças loucas e insuportáveis é demais pra mim.

A Mansão da Dor Fantasma e A Mulher das Costelas são contos bizarros e sobre assuntos que só poderiam ter saído da cabeça do Ito mesmo. Desse volume, foram esses capítulos que gostei de verdade.

Não tenho nem palavras pra descrever o último capítulo! Kkkkk Eu nunca leio o sumário pra ver o nome dos contos então eu já tava rindo desde que li o título depois de virar a página
