This collection of short stories from horror master Ito focuses more on supernatural and magical elements than some of his other short stories. There are face-stealing girls, razor-sharp hairs ready to decapitate, soul-sucking swords, a father who can take over his children's minds, brain-washing demons, and more. Despite this being a collection of his earliest works, Ito has already established his signature endings, often right at the climax or the big reveal, with no falling action to wrap up the jump scare or horrific turn of events. This collection should be particularly well received for school libraries, as these stories have a lack of psychological and body horror that might make other collections too mature for school audiences. Ito's signature art style is also already well established here. From story to story, many people will have extremely similar features and designs, but he rarely reuses characters. Ito excels at adding a few creepy details to make an otherwise mundane character into one that may haunt readers' minds, but that's exactly what teen readers clamor for.
