pineconek 's review for:

Frankenstein by Junji Ito
4.0

I've gone from "I don't really read manga" to "yes please give me all the horror manga" thanks to Junji Ito and I have exactly zero regrets.

This adaptation of Frankenstein is delightfully gruesome and creepy - an excellent late October read. I also really enjoyed the various interwoven tales of Oshikiri that followed. Horrors from alternate dimensions, murder, body horror, and skeletons in walls... this book has it all.

Recommended to any horror lover, regardless of whether or not you've read manga before. It's accessible and creepy and I can't wait to read everything this man has written.
