Junji Ito is always so clever, I don't know where he comes up with this stuff but it's brilliant. Children turning into ice cream? Weird maze homes? Like wow every time I think he can't get any weirder he literally publishes something else.

I loved the premise of this book, but…

The stories were alright but the illustrations could’ve been better; guess I’m just not a big fan of black and white comics.

Another great collection of stories by Junji Ito. I think this is one of my favorites. I really enjoyed all the stories in here, especially the one that involved the actual "Alley." Other stories in the collection were just as chilling. I always look forward to what Junji Ito brings to the table.

This is 10 short horror stories. I do not have much to review-If you like Ito's other work, you will like this one too. Most of the stories were good. They all had the same Ito creepy style to them as normal.

olid if unspectacular collection from Junji Ito. As ever, my favorites are stories that continue a Victorian ghost story tradition, like Alley or Blessing. There is a pair of story in which he draws upon his ability to unsettle with his use of texture. And unfortunately, there are also stories that just seem a beat off.

"it was hell itself"

it's really cool seeing his artwork get more creepily detailed over the years and I'll never know how he thinks of so many unique little stories. This one is easily my favorite collection of his, while it's not the grossest, my jaw dropped multiple times from the plot twists which is hard to do when the stories are only 30ish pages long. I'll never think of mold or ice cream the same again.
