pickOut of the 7 Ito books I have read this is easily one of my favorites. Ito's tendency to go overboard with the body horror was tamped down, making for effective & thoroughly unsettling pieces (as in the plainly titled piece The Licking Woman). Then there's the mysterious, & nightmarish, works The Human Chair & The Enigma of Amigara Fault. Ito has a long form work being released in August & a a 400 page story collection will be released in👇
This is me having just read the second piece in the tagged collection, "The Human Chair."
pickSo this was my first Manga style book and I loved it. Some of the stories ended abruptly, but it was ok because the artwork said so much. @Reggie THE CHAIR!! You weren‘t kidding that one was rough.
The Licking Woman was disgusting, and found myself both horrified and mesmerized by the images in Billions Alone, inspecting them like some f‘d up version of a Richard Scarry picture book. So good.
pickAwww I really enjoyed these. Being that I wasn‘t a reader in my youth I missed out on Goosebumps. But if Goosebumps had an adult graphic novel this would be really close. Every tale in this collection was unsettling and warmed my horror heart. A ufo group gathers as a father protects his daughter. A woman becomes afraid of the chair she writes her books from believing there is someone inside it. A woman gives birth from beyond the grave. The 👇🏼
I‘m so excited!!!! My first Junji Ito. Top left, bodies stretched all throughout trees, are the beginning end papers. Top right, is the back end papers. Bottom left is the outside of the hardback, underneath the sleeve. So excited!!! 😱🥶🤯🧛♂️💀🧟♂️I‘m going in!!!!
pickThis was intensely scary and absolutely bizarre. I love horror but there are so few writers that make me genuinely ~afraid~, normally I appreciate spookiness but I don‘t feel real fear. This had me lying in bed asking my boyfriend to bring me stuff so I‘d have another person in the room, psyching myself up to turn the page afraid of what I‘d see, but also desperate to read the next story and be scared again.
pickJunji Ito!!
This guy never disappoints and his stories get werider and weirder. I love it!
Annnnd birthday month has officially come to an end. Lunch & a trip to B&N with my nieces & nephew. I love book shopping!! I need more time in the day to read!! I must say that while people were wearing masks ... B&N was very warm and there were a lot of people! Be careful out there!! 🤗
pickA collection of horror manga stories. A great read!
I guess I need to make some space on my bookshelves. The Funko Pop News post about Junji Ito POPs plus today‘s release of the new Junji Ito short story collection has made for a very exciting Tuesday 😃
pickI was drawn in by the cover. The illustrations are beautiful, which added to a set of creepy short stories, makes this book CREEPY AF! They are the urban legends (reminiscent of Lovecraft) in which that last line makes your skin crawl. Vile people, terrifying monsters, and supernatural horrors are all touched on. I‘m glad I read this during the day. I‘ll now need to read something else to get these images out of my head.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
