Oct 22, 2018 · A slow burn build-up focusing more on suspense. Good use of atmospheric and eerie sound effects. The Bad: It’s so short it’s over just when it really gets started. Story is more of a suggestion than anything tangible. Lackluster graphical presentation reaches its low point with a phoned-in creature antagonist.

The premise of this tale is one of the least fantastical of the Ito stories I have read so far. Two friends obsess over a nameless Jazz record with no lyrics, to the point where they both do pretty shocking things to make sure they have it in their possession. The same happens to some of the other characters in this story who hear what is eventuall...
I am still to this day trying to work out what part of the human body the cover for this story is supposed to be. I presume it is the head, given there are eyeballs and what I think are eye sockets. It is a highly disturbing image! Anyway, this was where things became very weird…for me at least. This short star stars a boy who lives next door to a ...
A scriptwriter has a premonition that something bad is about to happen. He browses through a magazine and is shocked by the horrifying appearance of one of the models featured.

A small town in Japan is slowly infested with giant floating heads. Each head matches the head of someone living in the town and it will track them down for the sole purpose to hang them from the noose connected to it. All attempts to understand and combat the balloons fail, but the reader is never explained as to why any of this is happening or ev...
This story involves a small family that tour around Japan performing puppet shows with two of the characters presenting their views on the roles of the puppet and puppeteer that develops into quite the interesting story, with the traditional Ito horror spike towards the end of the story. This is one of the more interesting stories as it is not ofte...
After finishing ‘Painter’, I knew I was properly hooked by Junji Ito and I desperately wanted to invest more of my time and money into as much as Junji Ito’s work as I could. Don’t get me wrong, I was loving each of his stories and his recurring themes and totally unique concepts in this book, but this tale startled me at the end. That signature sp...
The story starts before the cover is revealed. A girl named Mami is in a hospital where she is awaiting brain surgery. She claims that the personification of death has visited her and that she is going to die soon. She pleads with a Dr Kuroda to save her, but Kuroda believes she is delusional. The man who visited her is actually another patient, ca...
This is one of the more bizarre Junji Ito stories I read in ‘Shiver’. Like many others, it’s antagonist should not make sense in the real world. Honoured Ancestors starts with a girl who is suffering from amnesia, which is one of the few horror tropes I have seen Junji Ito use as a part of his storytelling. It actually made a pleasant change! The g...
The final story in ‘Shiver: Selected Stories’ legitimately made me shiver. It is the most repulsive pieces of fiction I have ever read and yet I was absorbed by this odd tale of a family of three, where they are all obsessed with cooking oil in one way or another. What I found interesting was how the presence of oil has on this family, or more spec...
