Book Reviews of Flesh Colored Horror

Book Review: A Most Disturbing Taste of Horror Manga!
Summary: 5 Stars

The six stories presented span a period from 1988 to 1995. It's apparent that his style has become clearer and more focused along the way, providing a better platform for his tales of urban terror and love gone wrong. "Long Hair in the Attic" and "Beehive" are tales of revenge from beyond the grave. "Approval" and "Dying Young" show the frightening results of what can happen when obsession, selfishness and vanity go unchecked. The title story is very inventive and very disturbing but the most horrifying tale is "Headless Sculptures." Although you can probably guess what's happening by the title alone, it's a very scary and gory trip to the conclusion.

The blurb on the back cover states "Enjoy Ito's mix of gore, girls, and social satire." While is wasn't getting much of a social satire vibe, I did have bad dreams all night long after reading this. I'm sure Junji Ito would take that as a big compliment.
