If you get scared easily then you don’t need to read this but I HIGHLY recommend that everyone read it. It’s funny and silly but also really dark and sometimes disturbing. The perfect book for October.

This was just incredible. I loved the way that the art style went from straight lines and as the characters devolved into insanity, there was way more curvature until everything was a spiral. The way that those artistic elements played into the plot was just masterful

Uzumaki by Junji Ito is a whirlwind horror read that picks up spectacularly in tension, terror, and mystery the further you probe into it. Every issue is just so imaginative and unique. Very rarely was I ever able to figure out what would happen next.
