Frankenstein: Junji Ito Story Collection

Product Information

Psychological horror is also prevalent throughout his work. Characters will often be tormented by supernatural forces or driven mad by a compulsion. Ito will amplify these scenarios through his method of illustrating eyes, often up close and with extreme intensity. Una atmósfera oscura se nos irá revelando ante nuestros ojos, momentos en los que para su experimento va en busca de cadáveres, los descuartiza y busca las mejores piezas para su creación, con tal fascinación y ceguera que la necesidad de crear se escapa de su raciocinio, el cual viene después de ver lo que ha hecho.

Gyois accompanied by two short stories – The Sad Tale of the Principal Postand The Enigma of Amigara Fault. The latter is one of Junji Ito’s best-known short stories and tells of a cliff face with human-shaped holes. People are compelled, to the point of obsession, to go in them when they realise they perfectly match them.

I’d hoped that he would do something different with the story - like a contemporary version or modify it in some way - but Ito’s Frankenstein is a surprisingly faithful adaptation of Shelley’s cumbersome and overrated novel. In this graphic version, the story of Frankenstein only stayed true until half of the story. (The other half portrayed Frankenstein’s monster as more vicious and heartless compared to the original version. Henry too found out about what Frankenstein did and was killed in pursuit of the monster. In the book, he was unaware of the monster's existence until the monster killed him. The monster meticulously planned as such that Frankenstein was to be accused as Henry's killer in another town.) Iwane, Akiko (October 1998).

This collection is definitely not one of Junji Ito's better works, though Ito fans and completionists will be compelled to buy this hardcover anyway, because well, it's a Junji Ito work.

Ito, Junji (October 16, 2007) [1998]. Uzumaki: Spiral into Horror, Vol. 1 (2nded.). Viz Media. p.207. ISBN 978-1-4215-1389-8. Pen Pal is where the stories start to get interesting. It’s about an odd girl (it’s quite a school Oshikiri goes to!) who pretends she has imaginary pen pals that write her letters - and then the letters turn nasty once she befriends Oshikiri and things get darker and darker from there. It’s an unpredictable and increasingly tense narrative with a fine ending. The brilliance of Ito’s version reaches its pitch in Frankenstein’s creation of the monster. In Ito’s hands, there is no marvelous invention, no awe-inspiring contraption to ogle. Scientific-looking trinkets are littered about the room like scattered beer cans, the room of his birth more a 19th century man-cave than a laboratory. What we are drawn to is the mass of body parts strung together, their organs oozing onto a mat laid out so that maybe the floors will stay clean. It’s too big, gnarly, already a mistake, too much body for the room to bear. And then he stands up! In the room that can’t sustain him! There are plenty of depictions of Frankenstein’s monster that capture the poetry of this moment - Bernie Wrightson’s illustrated version immediately comes to mind - but this is the rare vision which makes the act of creation as violent and grotesque as an act of killing. Here the delirious dirge of horror pollutes the prettiness of the plain. Hell of the Doll Funeral” is a short nightmare of children turned into dolls, and, well, then funerals. The translator calls this “dollification,” heh. Find out more about where you can find comics with this extensive guide. What Junji Ito books are available?

Frankenstein: Junji Ito Story Collection - Waterstones

Anyone who knows me will know that I am a huge fan of Junji Ito and one of my favourite classic novels is Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. So naturally when I saw that Junji Ito had finished a manga adaptation of Frankenstein it was a must buy. Don’t quote me on this — but, I’m under the impression that Frankenstein by Junji Ito will be released in a story collection. However, I only received the galley for the Frankenstein portion, so that’s all I will be reviewing.

in Chinese (China)), archived from the original on September 20, 2022 , retrieved September 20, 2022 This is an upcoming collection of nine stories adapted from author Hirokatsu Kihara, famed in Japan for his telling of urban legends. Junji Ito retells these tales in his unique style and perspective through the lens of university student Mimi and her boyfriend Naoto. Each story is a different encounter, which supposedly happened to someone in real life. Collects: Tombs, Clubhouse, Slug Girl, The Window Next Door, Washed Ashore, The Strange Tale of the Tunnel, Bronze Statue, Floaters, and The Bloody Story of Shirosuna Kurozu-cho, a small fogbound town on the coast of Japan, is cursed. According to Shuichi Saito, the withdrawn boyfriend of teenager Kirie Goshima, their town is haunted not by a person or being but by a pattern: uzumaki, the spiral, the hypnotic secret shape of the world. It manifests itself in small ways: seashells, ferns, whirlpools in water, whirlwinds in air. And in large ways: the spiral marks on people's bodies, the insane obsessions of Shuichi's father, the voice from the cochlea in your inner ear. As the madness spreads, the inhabitants of Kurozu-cho are pulled ever deeper, as if into a whirlpool from which there is no return...
