Shiver: Selected Stories

The stories in this Junji Ito manga collection are all distinct and stand alone; they demonstrate the breadth and depth of Ito's artistic and narrative abilities to an astounding degree. Hanging Balloons is one of the readers favorites among these horror manga short stories. This story depicts a world invaded by massive balloons, each bearing the face of a real person. Your balloon is stalking you with a noose attached to its bottom, and if it catches you, it will hang you.


Another story, The Long Dream, depicts a man in a hospital bed who dreams of his entire life. When he awakens, his body has also aged, eventually transforming him into an impossibly ancient, horrifyingly morphed creature. These are Junji Ito's best works, and Shiver is one of the best horror manga collections ever published. It's an excellent introduction to Ito's work and to the world of horror manga in general.
