everyone in the story is searching for “their” hole, the hole into which they fit perfectly, people are finding their holes. this is a horror story centered around holes, and i would be lying if i said i did NOT laugh every time the word “hole” was used. it's meant to be a horror story, and it is, but i have the mind of child, and whether it's because i have not read any monsterporn in such a long time, when it used to be such a staple of my literary explorations, or because i saw The Shape of Water today, which is basically Amélie + monsterporn, but this story is so utterly suggestive, i was giggling too much for the horror to register. This is short story as manga, and it's a doozy. Which in turn links to the whole monthlong project, in case you wanna do some free short story reading of your own! links to the stories in this year's advent-ure will be at the end of each review.Įnjoy, and the happiest of decembers to you all! Here is a link to the first story in last year's project, however, i will be posting story links in case anyone wants to read the stories themselves and show off how maybe someone could have time for that. Last year, i carved out my own short story advent calendar as my project for december, and it was so much fun i decided to do it again this year! so, each day during the month of december, i will be reading a short story and doing the barest minimum of a review because ain't no one got time for that and i'm already so far behind in all the things. This story is gonna give me nightmares for a really long time because I know I will not stop thinking about something like this could actually be possible, what a motherfucking bizzare, horrific story! Okay so, this was it, I mean idk this was incomplete, no ? You want me to complete it? No, sir.sir. This was only 4 pages long, are you sure no pages were missing? Yes sir, please explain your story, ahh this one the sad tale of principal post, yess sir, what? Okay okay, hang on, I am trying to call Mr. There were two short stories at the end :. Pretty please? It's actually a really good idea sir, consider it! Ito with all my heart but I am not a big fan of how things ended, like I loved the ending of Uzumaki but this was incomplete, things should have been wrapped up a bit more, and we can get a vol 3 if Mr. *Ufff* First thing, don't come at me, I still love Mr. Since Tomie, many of his works have been adapted for TV and the cinema. In 1998, during the horror boom that followed the success of Ringu, Tomie was adapted into a movie. Eventually, unable to cope with her coy flirtation and their desire to possess Tomie completely, they are inevitably compelled to kill her - only to discover that, regardless of the method they chose to dispose of her body, her body will always regenerate. Apart from the ghastly, convincingly-drawn deaths, the book projects an effective atmosphere of creeping fear as the town's inhabitants become less and less human, and more and more bizarre things begin to happen.īefore Uzumaki, Ito was best known for Tomie, a comic series about a beautiful, teasing and eternally youthful high school girl who inspires her stricken admirers to murder each other in fits of jealous rage. His longest work, the three-volume Uzumaki, is about a town's obsession with spirals: people become variously fascinated with, terrified of, and consumed by the countless occurrences of the spiral in nature. Ito's universe is also very cruel and capricious his characters often find themselves victims of malevolent unnatural circumstances for no discernible reason or punished out of proportion for minor infractions against an unknown and incomprehensible natural order. For example: A girl's hair rebels against being cut off and runs off with her head Girls deliberately catch a disease that makes them beautiful but then murder each other a woman treats her skin with lotion so she can take it off and look at her muscles, but the skin dissolves and she tries to steal her sister's skin, etc. The most common obsessions are with beauty, long hair, and beautiful girls, especially in his Tomie and Flesh-Colored Horror comic collections. Nevertheless, upon graduation he trained as a dental technician, and until the early 1990s he juggled his dental career with his increasingly successful hobby - even after being selected as the winner of the prestigious Umezu prize for horror manga. Born in Gifu Prefecture in 1963, he was inspired from a young age by his older sister's drawing and Kazuo Umezu's comics and thus took an interest in drawing horror comics himself.
