This was a wild, fantastic, spooky, and though-provoking ride. I liked the way it was layed out so that the story was introduced with a BANG then followed up by various smaller tales then tied together with an epic finale. I never thought much about spirals but now every time I see one I shudder. I will immediately be searching out everything else created by Junji Ito.

The drawings were astounding there were moments where I just stopped and looked at the page for minutes appreciating every detail.
The story made me feel like I was becoming paranoid just like the characters and the CREATIVE MIND I’m so happy with the experience this book gave me.

Note: I was absorbed into the spiral
