If you’ve been clamoring for sleepless nights and a sudden urge to change your pants, this book is for you. Another highlight is The Earthbound for it’s story, something I don't usually say about Junji Ito. Be sure to read The Secret of the Haunted Mansion for the one of the scariest page turns ever. It’s hard for me to get scared by manga (it’s not the visceral experience like movies) but Ito manages to make me stay up at night. ![]() The 13 stories range from horror classics to fun Ito zaniness.
