![]() The first half’s story, though, focuses on a town with an odd local custom, that of asking strangers at a street corner to tell you your fortune, based on the first thing that comes into their mind after hearing whatever you want to tell them. It’s just too difficult to believe that a group of people this crazy could carry on in this fashion without being noticed. In the second half, the really crazy, really creepy family would be right at home in a slasher horror movie, but not a very believable one. The second half consists of a couple of different tales, more directly blood-and-guts horror, and the two styles are jarringly different enough that it combination was slightly unfortunate. That is because the first half of the book is a tightly woven, really weird horror story that is comparable to a really good Twilight Zone-type of scary story. If this had been split into two separate volumes, the first would have earned a higher rating, and the second a lower one. ![]() ![]() Lovesickness: Junji Ito Story Collection HC ![]()
