Horror fans looking for something new would be well advised to check out Shiver-a title that serves as both a warning and a promise for what will follow.ĭisclosure: This article is not an endorsement, but a review. The scenes mentioned above-or panels of a town plagued by killer giant floating heads-create indelible images that take full advantage of the medium in a way that text or even video cannot. Though Ito’s horror is mostly idea-driven, his art lends a critical element to the stories. Another story, “Greased,” takes a common plight of teenagers-oily skin-to a new level with characters who regularly drink salad oil from the bottle and pop pimples at each other (it’s even more disturbing than it sounds). “Fashion Model” features a title character with sharklike teeth who seems frightening and repulsive yet appears in fashion magazines regularly-an amusing dig at the sometimes extreme standards of beauty in that industry.

That said, the most memorable of Ito’s stories work as horror and as a form of social commentary. Some of the short stories in Shiver have a Twilight Zone-esque quality, but in general, Ito is less concerned about delivering twists and sending a message than he is about providing good, solid scares and discomfort. Shiver includes ten of his horror tales, along with sketches and commentary, giving a fascinating glimpse into Ito’s creative process. Junji Ito has been drawing manga since 1987, with some of his stories adapted into live-action and animated films. One of manga’s masters of horror presents ten twisted stories in the compilation Shiver.
