Not The best Junji Ito. Uzumaki and Shiver still reign. The Main Story was good. The short Stories weren't my Cup of Tea.

For me this book is great. I have read almost all Junji Ito's books and this is one of his good ones. It's well-composed, horrifying and dark. It's pretty similar to "Smashed" style. However, i don't like it as much as "Fragments of Horror" or "Black Paradox". 

Recommended! The first story was pretty well-done.
