A new collection of delightfully macabre tales from a master of horror manga. An old wooden mansion that turns on its inhabitants. A dissection class with a most unusual subject. A funeral where the dead are definitely not laid to rest. Ranging from the terrifying to the comedic, from the erotic to the loathsome, these stories showcase Junji Ito’s long-awaited return to the world of horror.

In the afterword, Junji Ito mentions he was going through a phase where he couldn't “write” horror. I wouldn't even have known that considering how horrific the stories are in this collection. It's one of my new favorites of his work and it shows how expansive his imagination truly is.
