All the short stories are unique in their own way, terrifying and sad and, in a few cases, kind of funny (in a morbid way of course).
‘Death Row Doorbell’ is the saddest and the realest tale, and the haunted house/Soichi tales were the most exciting.
Every story starts and ends with a bang. I never tire of Junji Ito’s works.
