Product Information

it’s perfectly designed, too, making excellent use of page layout to ensure the right impact of every individual image. yes, this book is the story of how something as abstract and seemingly harmless as a spiral overtakes an entire town and turns the lives of its inhabitants to ruin.

and eventually a full-on apocalyptic situation with hotel california vibes that ensure everyone that’s still alive is there for the big showdown.

The artwork in this book is probably capable of being pasted beside the dictionary definition of the word "grotesque". Whether or not you like body horror will also definitely be a determining factor in your enjoyment level. our main protagonist is kirie goshima, a high school student, whose boyfriend shuichi saito has a bit of a depressive streak.

In no way did it live up to its potential and if you need a little more than creepy pictures to actually freak you out then I recommend steering clear of this book.this three-in-one collection tells the story of a town completely unravelling through unsettling, disgusting, horrifying, and mind-bending body horror. ito can jangle your chain with outlandish, surrealist scary images as if they were jump scares, but he can also add to slow-creeping dread of the overall story.

The first chapter is soooo freaking good, it sets up this dark, twisted atmosphere and hooks you right in!
