An ever-increasing malice. A mind-numbing terror. The seeds of horror are sown in this collection of Junji Ito’s earliest works.

A vengeful family hides an army deserter for eight years after the end of World War II, cocooning him in a false reality where the war never ended. A pair of girls look alike, but they’re not twins. And a boy’s nightmare threatens to spill out into the real world…

This hauntingly strange story collection showcases a dozen of Junji Ito’s earliest works from when he burst onto the horror scene, sowing fresh seeds of terror.

About the Author

Junji Ito made his professional manga debut in 1987 and since then has gone on to be recognized as one of the greatest contemporary artists working in the horror genre. His titles include Tomie and Uzumaki, which have been adapted into live-action films; Gyo, which was adapted into an animated film; and his books Fragments of Horror, Frankenstein, Lovesickness, No Longer Human, Remina, Shiver, Smashed, and Venus in the Blind Spot, all of which are available from VIZ Media.

Ito’s influences include classic horror manga artists Kazuo Umezz and Hideshi Hino, as well as authors Yasutaka Tsutsui and H.P. Lovecraft.

He is a three-time Eisner Award winner. In 2019 his collection Frankenstein won in the “Best Adaptation from Another Medium” category, and in 2021 he was awarded “Best Writer/Artist,” while Remina received the award for “Best U.S. Edition of International Material (Asia).”

AW

Earlier stuff from before he hit his stride

Reviewed in Australia on 26 December 2021

Verified Purchase

While pretty good by most standards, it's pretty clear from both the art and the more conventional and simplistic stories that he was still becoming the master of creepiness that he would someday be. While not bad by any means, it just isn't the utterly superb seem in his later work.

Reviewed in Australia on 22 April 2022

I enjoyed all the stories. You really get to see Ito’s work transform from these earlier illustrations to Uzumaki. Once again, I am left traumatised 😐 Thank you, Junji Ito for always delivering ✨✨🐈🥰

A lot of "adult" fear and horror

Reviewed in Australia on 19 March 2022

I loved this collection, flawless start to finish. No monsters or gross out, but the monsters really are inside ourselves and the ones we love.

An entertaining horror anthology

Reviewed in Canada on 8 February 2022

Verified Purchase

If you've read any of his other books you know what to expect. There are some very original stories in here. Like many Japanese writers he doesn't worry all the time about the how's and why's. Which can be a little disappointing sometimes. One story Bullied I didn't really understand what he was getting at. Possibly if I knew more about the Japanese culture I would get it better. The title story Deserter is pretty good I don't think anyone will be surprised by the ending and there are some things hinted at that are then just dropped which is disappointing.

The art as always is lovely with some scenes of out right horror.

Una buena compilación de Junji Ito.
Esta vez muestra varias historias de sus primeros años y se puede ver cómo su arte aunque todavía no se refinaba ya estaba ahí, las historias incluidas son buenas pero realmente lo mejor es ver cómo era su arte a lo que es ahora.

another excellent collection of shorts

Reviewed in Canada on 21 February 2022

Verified Purchase

What can I say? I love Ito and this is another excellent collection of shorts. No body horror this time and the most chilling story involves the horrors of humankind. It is needless to say the art is stunning. Another great Ito for my collection.

And another one to my collection

Reviewed in Germany on 23 February 2022

Verified Purchase

I personally think this is his weakest book, but that's understandable when you see that these are his earliest works. You can see it in the writing style, the art style and the characters. But it still gave me some chills. Especially the stories: Where the sandman lives, Deserter and Bullied

It's very nice to see how the master of horror started one day and how developed. I think it's very good to see that even he started at some point. I think this Manga is not a good first choice because it might give you a wrong view on all his other stories but it's a great book if you already are familliar with some of his works. At least this is how I feel towards it.

Some of Ito’s earlier works, amazing stories.

Reviewed in India on 12 February 2022

Verified Purchase

Ito’s earliest works. Each Story has a unique and creepy story line and there is vibe of freshness as usual but artwork is not as detailed as we can see in his later part of career, that is ok as he was beginning his career as a newcomer when these stories were created. Worth buying for a horror and Ito fan.
