Statues: Junji Ito Story Collection: Junji Ito Story Collection

This story collection by Junji Ito is a bit different that his usual works. Monsters and bizarre characters fill the pages of previous books. But these horrors are distinctly human - they may be dead humans, but human none the less. Themes of heartbreak, loss, and death permeate all throughout, and the horror hits differently. We can't know what it's like to be turned into a snail or be hounded by a balloon of our own heads, but all of us at some point will experience the loss of a loved one. Add this to your TBR list if you're looking to feel a little bit emotionally hollowed out. Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read the eARC
