I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I'm being generous with my rating because I'm assuming some of the punchiness of the prose was lost in translation, but these stories are...dull. I requested this because the marketing team emphasized Junji Ito's involvement, so I thought it would be similar to Mimi's Tales of Terror (in which Junji Ito both adapted the text and created the illustrations). Here, there are illustrations interspersed throughout (plus a fun mini-manga at the end), but it's primarily blocks of Hirokatsu Kihara's text.

It's a disappointing effort, but I enjoyed the art.
