Shiver

I read this horror comic collection in two days.  I found it really involving and actually liked it better than Junji Ito's books Gyo and Tomie.  I thought he mastered the short story.  I thought the short story here Painter was the best story in Tomie.  It was originally his first for the Tomie comic. I liked the stories about the grotesque model.  I was also impressed with The Long Dream which was a piece on a patient who experiences dreams that expand a length of time and eventually it takes a toll on his physical appearance.  I can't wait to read Ito's other short story collection Smashed.
