It's horror month, and Junji Ito is a master at horror.
As someone who can't picture anything when I read, Ito is a real treat for me. He's amazing at making you feel unsettled with a drawing that seems so realistic. I've read a couple of his other collections, but I think this one has some of my favorites.
"Fashion Model", "Marionette Mansion", and "The Long Dream" were my three favorites, but all of them were excellent and had frames that were deeply unsettling.
If you're looking for some great, short horror pieces, I can't recommend Junji Ito enough!
