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

This is not strictly a Junji Ito work (it's based on a collection of urban legends called Shin Mimibukuro), but he took enough creative liberties and drew his traditionally horrific images to go along with the psychologically horrifying stories that it feels like his other books. In fact, I felt like these images are even more grotesque and nightmare-inducing in this volume, which is both terrifying and delightful. But the fact that they're more effective might also have to do with the fact that these tales are real and, therefore, more plausible.
