Deserter Junji Ito Story Collection

Junji Ito2021
An ever-increasing malice. A mind-numbing terror. The seeds of horror are sown in this collection of Junji Ito’s earliest works. A vengeful family hides an army deserter for eight years after the end of World War II, cocooning him in a false reality where the war never ended. A pair of girls look alike, but they aren’t twins. And a boy’s nightmare threatens to spill out into the real world… This hauntingly strange story collection showcases a dozen of Junji Ito’s earliest works from when he burst onto the horror scene, sowing fresh seeds of terror.

Ito sensei never disappointed when made short story collection. It's range from so-so to good. I really like the story of father's love *that made me cry*, Deserter, Village of Siren's, Bullied.

Always a joy to read another of Junji Ito's short stories. A lot of creepy memorable images. The ending to Bullied was twisted.
