    Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2022

    I completely intended to read this one slowly, spacing the stories out, but once I started, I just couldn’t put the book down. Junji Ito is a more recent discovery of mine, but I’ve become addicted to his work in recent months.

    This is a great selection for those new to Ito. It features nine of his favorite stories, plus one bonus new story. I was already familiar with many of these due to the Junji Ito Collection animated series, but it was still enjoyable reading the originals. The collection even featured two of my favorite segments from the show, “Fashion Model” (about a deranged and frightening looking model) and “The Long Dream” (about a man whose dreams last for years at a time).

    My other favorite stories in this collection include the surreal story, “Hanging Blimp” about giant balloons bearing people’s faces attacking their human lookalikes. The bonus story was also super spooky, featuring the same freaky model from “Fashion Model.” The only story I didn’t personally like was “Greased.” It was well done but just a little too gross for me.

    This is a great collection for both those new to Ito and long term fans of his. Each story is followed by a note from Ito explaining the origins of the story, so even if you’re familiar with these tales already, Shiver is worth checking out for those interesting bonus author notes.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2023

    So Junji Ito ... my wife is addicted to his writing and manga ... so when he was at SDCC ... I knew I was in trouble.

    So we went to his speaking engagement and the man is really brilliant (honestly I had no idea who he was prior to this) ... I felt bad for him because his hands are very badly gnarled because of years of drawing. But no one can take away the horror he inspires with everything he writes and draws.

    He creates horrors that give nightmares horrors ... the things he writes and draws is amazing and terrifying and beautiful at the same time. The stories are all enthralling and tell tales that will give you nightmares but you will soon realize that even your nightmares pale in comparison to the nightmares he is writing. It's truly awe inspiring to be honest.

    One day we will lose this horror genre master but for now, I recommend everyone buy his books and be both inspired and terrified.

    I have been a fan of Junji Ito for about 7 years now. It started out with a poster I saw in a store of Tomie and from there on I was reading some of his panels through search and watching his series. His art work is incredible and I love the way he reaches his audience with a more psychological scare if anything. Hard cover will look awesome on my shelf now that I have started my manga collection! The price is a steal for sure.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Deranged, thought-provoking, evocative, and terrifying!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2020

    A selection of some of Junji Ito's best short stories! Need I say more?

    Ok fine, they're all great! True to Ito's style they're full of deranged and through-provoking concepts mixed with evocative and terrifying imagery. Sure the characters are somewhat underdeveloped and thin, but that's easy enough to overlook in favor of all the nightmare-inducing imagery.

    It's hard to pick favorites in a collection this good, but here are a few that are really burned into my brain:

    "Hanging Blimp" - a rash of suicides that quickly escalates into a full-blown apocalypse of giant floating heads with nooses; as wild in concept as it is hard to explain.

    "Marionette Mansion" - a family who have built a house allowing them to be fully controlled like marionette dolls by strings and people in the ceiling; also a creepy demon puppet that causes excruciating havoc in the end.

    "The Long Dream" - a frightened hospital patient whose dreams continue to increase in length (though his sleep time remains the same) and whose body begins to transform because of it; a really interesting concept with some shocking images.

    There's also one story, called "Greased," that I won't ever read again just because it was so effectively gross. And not like in a gory way or anything, I just can't handle greasy pimple stuff (you weirdo pimple-popping video watchers will love it :P).

    The mundane panels make it seem cam and safe, until one quick page flip reveals a terrifyingly detailed work of art.
