Junji Ito — 2022

Three-time Eisner Award winner Junji Ito presents brand-new nightmares! What destiny awaits them after the screaming? After abruptly departing from a train in a small town, a couple encounters a “weeping woman”—a professional mourner—sobbing inconsolably at a funeral. Mako changes afterwards—she can’t stop crying! In another tale, having decided to die together, a couple enters Aokigahara, the infamous suicide forest. What is the shocking torrent they discover there? One of horror’s greatest talents, Junji Ito beckons readers to join him in an experience of ultimate terror with four new stories.

"I'm out of good ideas." He said it, not me.

** spoiler alert ** Four stories in which a woman either dies or becomes the monster. It's rather misogynistic.

Another piece of perfection of Junji Ito’s work. This is so creepy & twisted.

Rounding this up with the knowledge that while I did like the book, the first two stories I thought were much more entertaining than the last two.

Not expecting myself to love this new collection from Junji Ito. All the new stories here, it's really good. My favorite Madonna and Slumber is the last story. And this collection may be the pretty one that Junji Ito has. I love his style of drawing here.
