100 Ghost Stories to Die For #3

Anji Matono's horror anthology continues with this deeply unsettling third volume, whose cover says everything you need to know about the series' brand of dread: a wide-eyed young man has his mouth clamped shut by pale, clawed fingers, while a long-haired specter with hollow black eyes presses terrifyingly close. The image is rendered with raw, visceral detail that lingers long after you look away — exactly the kind of restless, skin-crawling art that makes 100 Ghost Stories to Die For (also known as Boku ga Shinudake no Hyakumonogatari) such a compelling read for fans of Japanese horror manga.
