Looters and archaeologists alike have combed the Judean Desert since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls some 70 years ago. Aside from two silver scrolls engraved with the biblical Priestly Blessing (from the late 7th to early 6th century BCE) discovered in Ketef Hinnom in Jerusalem, the Dead Sea Scrolls are considered the earliest known copies of the biblical books and span from circa 400 BCE to 300 CE.

According to Haaretz’s Ruth Schuster and Ariel David, the newly discovered bits of parchment appear to be missing sections of a scroll found in the Cave of Horror in 1952. Like the fragments, that scroll bears lines from the Twelve, a book of the Hebrew Bible that contains the writings of 12 minor prophets. The most common obsessions are with beauty, long hair, and beautiful girls, especially in his Tomie and Flesh-Colored Horror comic collections. 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. I will conclude by noting that Itō published another book of horror shorts just a few months after Fragments of Horror was released in Japan: The Melting Classroom, collecting linked shorts which initially ran in the Akita Shoten josei magazine motto!, aimed at women. These are raucous, splattery things starring a pair of demonic siblings who cause people's brains to leak out of their faces; very different from Fragments of Horror. Art from "The Melting Classroom", Akita Shoten, 2014 For the month of July, the Counter Arts Book Club (in the guise of Jess the Avocado) set us a collection of graphic short stories as our monthly read for review.

It would disappoint a new reader but I’ve come to enjoy Junji Ito’s short story collections as small atmospheric pieces, perhaps because I’m a big fan of such supernatural mysteries, and the art at least never lets you down.

Reviews

This one is a story about character quirks or ‘tics’, I guess. I don’t get what Ito was trying to get at with this one but it seems to me that he failed in the most unimaginably absurd manner possible. Speaking of the book , it's a collection of stories so I will be reviewing each story , that way it's easier for me give the average rating at the end! Atomic, Shelly (November 20, 2015).

A young woman visits a historical house and becomes a tenant. This one gets hella weird at the end. Gentle goodbye:- 4/5 ( this wasn't disturbing or disgusting like Mr. Ito's usual work , it was in general very sad and depressing and I like sad thing) Mind Rape: Regardless of whether she causes it or merely takes part in a greater force, Magami Nanakuse is able to cause others to reflexively copy her performed tics, and her prisoners always end up developing them in isolation.

And even these distinctions have a way of breaking down. It's not just women who read magazines targeted at women, and audiences for collected editions can diversify yet further. Itō has created work for virtually every audience, because his aesthetic is strong; he enjoys terrific and broad appeal. But manga is a very large thing, and its complexities can encourage subtle evolution, like that of this book which whispers like a worldview. It is probably a phantom, conjured from marketing stratagems and collaborative disposition... but who is it that's drawn so many comics about weird and hidden things revealed... Esta historia no me ha gustado. Lo que rescato es una ilustración a página completa llegando al final del relato.

GN 1

actually holding my attention and not being downright obvious in the solution to it’s mystery, it still suffers from a weak ending that just leaves you wanting for more. Like most of Ito’s short stories, this one too is strongest in the middle. Manami Kino's name means "academics of wood", fitting because she is a student interested in a wooden mansion, and taken alone, "ki no", "wooden", foreshadows her ultimate state. A woman marries into a family who can turn their family members into "afterimages" when they die. They are like ghosts that slowly fade over a long time. Loved the ending. Even a fragment is frightening.Marking a return to horror manga for the first time in eight years, Fragments of Horror is Junji Ito's fourth anthology of assorted short stories, closely following in the footsteps of the Voices in the Dark serials.
