Tomio, the man that Madoka, our heroine, ran away to elope with has developed an extreme paranoia, saying the air is filled with evil spirits. “Futon,” the first story is an extremely short piece, just a few pages long, though the characters will show up later. The coolest part is you can see creepy spirits printed on top of the “scream” cover image in transparent plastic As it’s a return to form after so long it’s a little rough around the edges in some parts, hilarious in others, and overall more charming than frightening. In 2014 it was his first short story collection in 8 years, having worked on other things during that time. The concentrated punch of short fiction is where I think a lot of writers do some of their absolute best work.įragments of Horror by Junji Ito is filled with 8 pieces of his more recent short work. Aside from literary journals like The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, The Dark, The Paris Review, and dozens of others, short story collections have always held a special place in my heart. There’s something special about the short story, especially when it comes to genre writers. I know it hurts and itches, but you really do deserve this, you know. Don’t move your hands or your head will come off.
