I really appreciate Junji Ito's afterword to this. It has big "I started making it, had a breakdown, bon appetit" energy.

This volume has 4 shortish stories written in 2020. The bleakness of the pandemic permeates the stories brilliantly. They are delightfully creepy, unique, understated, and absolutely addictive to read. I read this in one sitting and I think I'm now officially on a mission to read all of junji ito's work tbh.

Recommended if youve ever wanted to cry forever, have religious trauma, and wonder if you're capable of doing terrible things while asleep. Niche? Quite. Excellent? Very.
