FRAGMENTS OF HORROR HC JUNJI ITO: Volume 1

Product Information

I also often find his characters to be the same having told a different stories. While my praises on his artwork isn't totally a lie, but I wish it would be somewhat distinguishable. I could see some disappointment harbored for this particular work of his, but I wasn't his old time fan to be coming up with the conclusion.

Wooden Spirit" contains a sex scene. But it's also a woman making love to a house, which is weird enough before it impossibly warps the structure and turns her into wood. Like HP Lovecraft, Fragments of Horror presents society as a tissue stretched over roiling chaos. But while Lovecraft’s existential glower is bound up with his white supremacism – the chisel-lipped Yankees of his fiction are forever losing their minds to exotic and alien beings – Itō watches at a remove, enthralled yet ambivalent.

Make no mistake, though: Itō has more to say about fathers and daughters. And for those like me who prefer this artist in the mode of Gyo -- which, you'll recall, concerns the sudden and gaseous emergence of all the fish in the ocean to smother humanity with the wriggling mass of their putrefying flesh -- it's “Wooden Spirit” that will emerge as the best goddamned thing in Fragments of Horror by an empty ocean's length. What if fish had legs and started walking out of the ocean? This long-form story details what happens when the fish invade the land and begin to cause havoc. After a while, the tale evolves from a creature feature to incorporate body horror and nauseating artwork. Prior to the publication of Fragments of Horror, Junji Ito had not written horror manga for eight years; his last published collection in the genre was Shin Yami no Koe Kaidan in 2006. [2] [3] [4] Ito wrote that "during those eight years, I was doing plenty of work on illustrations and manga about cats or about society, but even taking that into account, the time seems too empty somehow. What on Earth was I doing all that time?" [4] When he submitted the storyboard for the first story, his editor, Mikio Yoshida, expressed concern that Ito's "instincts for horror hadn't returned"; this led him to completely rewrite the story before it was finally published. Still, Ito felt that it was below his usual quality. [4] Release [ edit ] Originally published as Travelogue of the Succubus, Sensor is Junji Ito’s take on cosmic horror. It involves cults, a omnipotent being, and more familiar elements of Ito’s work like body horror and obsession.
