Horror Anthology Comic Shikaku

A Circus Tale - actually quite tame for a Hideshi Hino work, and heavy on the fantasy and dark humor. Still, pretty entertaining and creatively drawn.

Detestable Picture Book - has some good twists and turns, and quite a lot of gross imagery if you hate bugs, but it's sometimes difficult to make out what's happening to whom.

Snow White - standard Junji Ito fare, with a twist on the seven dwarves bit but not much else. Among his works with original and fresh ideas, this is forgettable and seems like it was done in a hurry.

The Story that Ends with the Prologue - this seemed written in a rush, without much planning, and reliant on a gimmick that didn't pay off.

(The other two haven't been scanlated at the time of writing this.)

Unfortunately it hasn't been scanlated in it's entirety yet but I enjoyed some chapters from this volume.

The chapters by Junji Itou and Amagappa Shoujogun were the standouts for me. Especially the latter one's.

Hideshi Hino's and Osada Not's stories were alright as well.
