It will be worthwhile to read these stories again even though I've already read some of them in other collections.(After reading the entire collection, I realised that there are only two new stories here)
1. Tombs: 4 stars -This is one I've read before; it's really fascinating. It's similar to returning to one's origins and passing away in the arms of mother nature. Very eerie.
2. Clubhouse: 3.5 stars -This narrative was fresh. It was excellent, particularly the exploring portion and the way it related to a past story.
3. Slug girl: 4.5 stars -One of my favorite stories is Slug Girl; the last scene never fails to give me the chills.
4. The window nex door: 3 stars -Avoid unfamiliar neighbors at all costs. The final panel provided the plot with a much-needed extra edge.
5. Washed ashore: 4 stars -love when junji Ito incorporates seas into his tales, which are consistently novel and inventive.
6. The strange tale of tunnel: 3 stars -Though a little lengthy for the story, it's still a solid one. It exuded an eerie vibe. It was less nasty and more eerie.
7. Bronze statue: 3.5 stars -Lord, the standards of beauty. But I really liked how it ended—the old bitch deserved to get her comeuppance. It's kind of funny how the statues were making out in front of her.
8. Floaters: 4.5 stars -Should this evolve into a pandemic, I can already picture people doing nasty stuff.
9. The bloody story of shirosuna: 4.5 stars - Personally, I enjoy horror stories that touch on biology. I have a craving for horror and human bodies. This one is definitely my favorite....more

The plot was fairly simple, but I'm still going to give it four stars because of the ribs woman art that exists rent-free in my head.The plot was fairly simple, but I'm still going to give it four stars because of the ribs woman art that exists rent-free in my head....more
