The collection is described as showcasing a dozen of Junji Ito’s earliest works.

Fragments of Horror

A collection of macabre tales featuring an old wooden mansion that turns on its inhabitants, a dissection class with an unusual subject, and a funeral where the dead are not laid to rest. The stories are described as ranging from terrifying to comedic, and from erotic to loathsome, marking a long-awaited return to horror. For older teen audiences.
