Ito’s art style in particular, as well as his uniquely disturbing stories, have always stood out among others in the genre. I’m a huge horror fan so I was excited to read this latest collection. Translation of: Ito Junji Kessakushu 11: Kaidan.īloodsucking darkness - Ghosts of prime time - Roar - Earthbound - Death row doorbell - The mystery of the haunted house - The mystery of the haunted house : Soichi's version - Soichi's beloved pet - In Mirror Valley - I don't want to be a ghost - Library vision - Splendid shadow song - Smashed. Smashed Story & Art: Junji Ito Translation & Adaptation: Jocelyne Allen Touch-Up Art & Lettering: Eric Erbes Publisher: VIZ Media. Smashed, the latest of Junji Ito’s hardcovers, collects 13 (an appropriate number) short horror stories. Personally, I’d choose Frankenstein, because the Oshikiri tales are great, but the anthology feel to Smashed is amazing and highly entertaining, so both are. "Originally published in Japan in 2013 by Asahi Shimbun Publications, Inc., Tokyo"-Colophon. Smashed features 13 all unrelated stories, all of good length but some lack in quality compared to other stories in the collection, though good ones are RLLY good and can’t be missed.
