This was my first foray into the world of mangaka Junji Ito and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. Fragments of Horror is quite simply one of the best horror anthologies I’ve come across in any medium.

The only reason I picked "Mixed Feelings" in the recommended section is because I didn't like all of the stories.
