Book Review: Shiver by Junji Ito.

 So this another anthology by our man Junji Ito. I don't know why I didn't enjoy them as much as previous novels.. One interesting thing, don't know if you've heard or watch but there was an anime with Junji Stories. Several of these stories were within that anime stuff...

Per example Greased which is a disgusting little tale about people who drink oil.. it's very disturbing... Shiver & FAshion Model were other two stories that the anime adapdation don't make them justice and they are just bad compare with this... Marionette Mansion is another tale that there the anime didn't do justice...

Are these a good compilation? For a newcomer yes is. For a hardcore fun of Junji Ito is not the best. I would rate this 7/10

Favorite tale; Used Record & Hanging Blimp
