As always, the artwork is stunning

A collection of short horror stories in manga form. My favorites were Earthbound and Smashed. Earthbound was very melancholy, and Smashed had a great dark humor.

Junji Ito‘s “Smashed” is a collection of 13 short stories that all follow a horror theme. Smashed does an amazing job at giving the reader an unsettling feeling not only by the disturbing imagery but the story itself. If you like books with good shock value that follow creepy storylines, I would definitely recommend this book.

MissYaremcio Oooo this sounds kind of cool! 6/6 3y

Pretty decent #bookreport this week. I liked all books except Rebecca 😄
Didn‘t read as much spooky fare as I meant to, but I still have a sliver of time to sneak some in

Soubhiville Ooo, RW&RB! Did you enjoy it? I really did. That top left cover looks spooky. Those eyes! 3y
Eyelit @Soubhiville I really like RW&RB. So cute/sweet! I‘d recommend Smashed if you can get it from the library - Junji Ito does really great horror manga 3y

Methinks I should stop reading this story while I‘m ahead, lol. The beginning sounds like the ideal life... but this story exists in a collection of horror manga, so something sinister is no doubt around the corner. Hopefully the books survive unscathed. Priorities, right?! 😂

Just finished this one :) I really enjoyed the beauty of the drawings and the just weird stories. They were haunting and bizarre but so well worth the read :)

Earthbound

So this one fits the #TeamTheme .. I had a #Mystery (why are they Earthbound?) as well as #Suspense (a bit of a twist of why they were bound) ...

Earth of Prime Time

I don't think this one really fits the #TeamTheme... But it was great! I really am enjoying these comics :) They are very interestingly drawn too :)

BloodSucking Darkness

I think this one fits under the #Suspense category. It sucked you in but it was bizarre and you didn't know what was happening (I guess it could also be considered monster?) Hmm.. Well I am going with #TeamTheme of suspense.

Book mail! Two very different books that coincidentally have matching color schemes. 🧡

Sace Is this your first Junji Ito? 4y
DeeLew @Sace Yes! I love it so far. ❤️ 4y
Sace @DeeLew I've read two or three of his collected Manga. They are wonderfully creepy. 4y

Very classic Junji Ito. I think Earthbound is my favourite story in this collection, as it has his classic unknowable and unstoppable force of horror.

phantomx I love Junji Ito's horror collections! Also, more of his horror stories will be published later this year. 4y

I swear Junji Ito gets more werid with each book.
He doesn't disappoint.
The art and stories are on point like normal.
Werid and creepy with plenty of "WTF" moments.
