The interesting thing about Junji Ito’s art is that there’s kind of a rule in horror that it’s good to keep your monster or whatever obscured or shrouded in darkness because whatever the audience imagines will always be scarier than what you can portray. But Ito is so skilled that he just straight up shows you something downright fucknasty and it works, at least for me, because the slimy, gritty, sinewy, trypophobia-inducing monstrosity on the page is pretty much what I would have imagined anyway.
