Frankenstein: Junji Ito Story Collection

Frankenstein: Junji Ito Story Collection, published by Viz from 2018 onward, is a single-volume anthology that adapts Mary Shelley's classic novel alongside several of Ito's original horror tales. The master of horror manga, Junji Ito, provides both the art and writing for the stories, with Jocelyne Allen handling the English translation. This collection matters as it showcases Ito's distinctive, grotesque visual style applied to a foundational work of gothic literature, offering a chilling new perspective on the enduring monster mythos.
