Inspired from a young age by his older sister's drawing and Kazuo Umezu's comics, Junji Ito took an interest in drawing horror comics himself. He worked as a dental technician before becoming a full-time mangaka. Junji Ito has since been a beloved and genre-affluent author. His works tap in odd, bizarre ideas and phobias, exploiting deliciously creepy and heavily old-schooled horrors like no other. Once his book is picked up, no sleep is guaranteed even for the strongest hearts.

The title itself tells exactly what you should expect from this collection: a daring mix of grotesque art and hypnotic horror. The stories are audacious and so technically accomplished in many terms. Rated R for some graphic, stomach-turning violence.

Horror stories are the best things about Halloween. Especially the spine-chilling and hair-raising ones that causes you to hide under the covers from all the scary things in the dark. This collection is perfect for a great Halloween night to spook yourself into a blissful night of restlessness.
