Just in time for your Halloween reading, yet another Junji Ito short story collection. This one is billed as a "best of," so like me you might have already seen some of these stories if you've been keeping up with all the Junji reprints coming out lately. And it almost lives up to the hype, as

these are some pretty solid tales of horror with Ito's trademark body horror and creepy tone. Three adaptations of stories from Edogawa Ranpo and Robert Hichens are included.

My favorite in the bunch is the dark and compelling tale of obsession and torture, "The Enigma of Amigara Fault." Chilling every time I see it.
