Décapitées
Un jeune homme qui se réveille un matin avec du fil écarlate cousu à même la peau, un rituel funéraire ancestral qui retient les âmes des morts, un cirque maléfique aux funestes numéros, un meurtre sanglant dans une salle d'art remplie d'étranges sculptures décapitées, un cimetière peuplé d'épouvantails aux allures de linceuls...
Nul ne pourra échapper à l'insidieuse malédiction du maître de l'horreur, qui s'accomplit, tel un couperet, dans chacun de ces douze récits à vous glacer le sang.
Junji Ito montre l'étendue de son talent horrifique à travers 12 nouvelles, dont Frissons et Le Vieux Vinyle présents dans le tome 1 des Chefs-d'oeuvre. Cette édition bénéficie d'une préface de Patrick J. Gyger et d'une analyse en fin d'ouvrage par Morolian, spécialiste francophone de l'auteur.

I think this might contain a few of my new favorite by Junji Ito. Didn’t expect to love this one so much as I don’t see too many people talk about it, but it’s a really good collection.
