Quick reads from varied genres.

A grave undertaking.

Happy Halloween.

Villages/rural towns that deal with curses, the paranormal and/or unhinged people.
[Almost if not all Itou Junji manga could apply here]

Horror manga with some combination of ancient religious beliefs versus the modern era, terror lurking in the country, fear of the spirits and gods, and often dangerous encounters between the outsiders and the isolated village. Due to the genre often being associated with Western horror, entries may not have all of these elements but will have most of them.

The genre is not to be confused with supernatural horror and is not wholly identical to "horror (usually supernatural) that is set in the countryside." However, the genre is fuzzy, so my interpretation may not wholly align with what someone else calls Folk Horror.

Stories inspired by or that I think mimic the feel of tall tales you find floating around online. Life threatening situations, doppelgangers, monsters, deranged killers and seemingly peaceful countrysides can all be found on this list!
