Statues: Junji Ito Story Collection features ten pretty solid horror stories

Posted on by

Headless statues confound the mind with a terrifying question: Are they fine art or carved from the abyss?

Art teacher Okabe creates strange, headless statues. One day, he is found murdered, his corpse headless. From that day on, art club member Shimada seems off somehow… Elsewhere, in a curious town custom, the dead are placed on a tatami mat and set out on the river. Kanako’s grandmother lives alone in a house near this river. What did she witness at one of these funerals long ago? And a mysterious disease makes girls suddenly become more beautiful. But soon they all die. The only way to survive might be worse than death itself…

Ten tales from horror master Junji Ito that will plant the seeds of terror in your heart.

Also, a man in a village deep in the mountains shares memories of his wife. What happened to her after she said she would give freely of her blood?
