*What destiny awaits them after the screaming?
After abruptly departing from a train in a small town, a couple encounters a “weeping woman”—a professional mourner—sobbing inconsolably at a funeral. Mako changes afterward—she can’t stop crying! In another tale, having decided to die together, a couple enters Aokigahara, the infamous suicide forest. What is the shocking otherworldly torrent that they discover there?
One of horror’s greatest talents, Junji Ito beckons readers to join him in an experience of ultimate terror with four transcendently terrifying tales.*
Weeping Woman Way - Lovely and creepy! I especially loved the big twist toward the end.
Madonna - Meh. Not my cup of tea.
The Spirit Flow of Aokigahara - Loved loved loved this body horror story. A real winner here!
Slumber - It was a decent horror story. Not my favorite of his, but definitely better than some of the others.
