EWWWWW

Considering how the ocean is one of the most terrifying things to me, I’m not finding this book as scary as I thought I would. It’s been creepy from time to time, as well as gross.. but not heart-palpitation inducing, dizzying, shit my pants scary like most deep sea things. Spelunking and Shark Week have scared me more.

Bless Nick Cutter and his short chapters.. I hate putting a book down before I get to a new chapter, but this makes it much easier!

This hasn’t been very scary at all. It’s more mystery and gore to me.

Fetus alert: I definitely wasn’t expecting THAT from an Ito story.

I find Ito’s short stories much scarier than the majority of his longer works. The Ghosts of Prime Time story in this compilation was silly but still made my skin CRAWL.

One of the only non-supernatural things that genuinely terrifies me is anything involving open water. The third story in this book made me light headed.

The second tale wasn’t as scary as I’d imagined it would be.

Some of the characters are obnoxious and too “cute” and silly. It makes me wonder if that’s on purpose to try and trick the reader into not fully realizing how horrific the story is going to be.

The fan service in the beginning is really annoying.

That first story was spooky as heck.

I had a very specific tbr of horror manga and novels planned for this October and now all I can focus on is shōjo manga. Oh well LOL.

Reading for shojo research purposes.
