Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a free ebook!

I mistakenly picked this book up too late in the evening and stayed up way later than I intended because I couldn't put it down! Junji Ito has a great way of giving you just enough of strange things happening in the story to keep you intrigued and reading to the point that you can't stop. I definitely enjoyed the majority of these stories, but there were a few that I felt were lacking. I go to Junji Ito for terror and some of the stories just didn't deliver that for me. That being said, I'd still highly recommend this if you want some creeps! ( )
