Deserter: Junji Ito Story Collection: Junji Ito Story Collection | Junji Ito
7 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
A vengeful family hides an army deserter for eight years after the end of World War II, cocooning him in a false reality where the war never ended. A pair of girls look alike, but they’re not twins. And a boy’s nightmare threatens to spill out into the real world... This hauntingly strange story collection showcases a dozen of Junji Ito’s earliest works from when he burst onto the horror scene, sowing fresh seeds of terror. -- VIZ Media

Junji Ito is among a few authors I can rely on to unsettle me & this collection of his early work is no exception. I find Ito's long form work a bit uneven, for me he excels in his collections of short pieces & Deserter is one of the best. There were only a couple that didn't work & several that outright terrified me. Although everyone is fair game in Ito's universe I have to admit that I really enjoyed the works where karmic justice is served.

ElizaMarie @jb72 Ha! I do too. But then I get all confused about when I bought them. With me trying to unpack/clean my sunroom a bit, I am finding all sorts of books that I #OwnButNotYetRead :( 2y

I'll say it over and over but Junji Ito is the best manga story teller and gives everyone nightmares.
Stories are creepy with a pinch of sympathy

ShyBookOwl That image alone could give me nightmares! I'm gonna have to check this out haha 2y
