Junji Ito meets Mary Shelley! The master of horror manga bends all his skill into bringing the anguished and solitary monster-and the fouler beast who created him-to life with the brilliantly detailed chiaroscuro he is known for.
Also included are six tales of Oshikiri-a high school student who lives in a decaying mansion connected to a haunted parallel world. Uncanny doppelgangers, unfortunately murdered friends, and a whole lot more are in store for him.
Bonus: The Ito family dog! Thrill to the adventures of Non-non Ito, an adorable Maltese!
FRANKENSTEIN by Junji Ito is an excellent addition to any horror fan's collection. The work infuses the classic tale with a shot of the uncanny, while the other tales that fill the book are strong as well. Even after Halloween passes, it will still be a treat to dive into this book. Read Full Review
The titular story is fantastic, but the remainder of the collection is wildly inconsistent. All in all, this is a good but still somewhat disappointing book. Read Full Review
