This is another fantastic horror collection from Quill & Crow, this time focusing on the the island of Brackish Harbor.

The depth of world building, strong character development and immersive atmosphere made each story in this book thoroughly enjoyable.

I loved the book, although my mind did keep trying to tie each story together into one timeline. I had to remind myself a few times that although the stories occur in the same location, they are not part of one cohesive whole. If you can keep that straight, you’re golden.

I highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys the Lovecraftian side of horror.

Another brilliant collection from Junji Ito. Collection comprises of four fantastic stories. His letter at the end was a bit concerning though. He mentions being out of ideas. I hope this isn’t the end of his books!
