Décapitées

Rate this book
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.

Junji Itō (Japanese: 伊藤潤二, Ito Junji) is a Japanese cartoonist and illustrator, best known for his horror manga.
Ito was born in Gifu Prefecture, Japan in 1963. He was inspired to make art from a young age by his older sister's drawing and Kazuo Umezu's horror comics. Until the early 1990s he worked as a dental technician, while making comics as a side job. By the time he turned into a full time mangaka, Ito was already an acclaimed horror artists.
His comics are celebrated for their finely depicted body horrors, while also retaining some elements of psychological horror and erotism.
Although he mostly produces short stories, Ito is best known for his longer comic series: Tomie (1987-2000), about a beautiful high school girl who inspires her admirers to commit atrocities; Uzumaki (1998-1999), set in a town cursed with spiral patterns; Gyo (2001-2002), featuring a horde of metal-legged undead fishes. Tomie and Uzumaki in particular have been adapted multiple times in live-action and animation.

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.

Certaines short stories sont assez énigmatique; les fins sont très souvent laissées sans explication claire et c’est un peu frustrant parfois
Mais c’est ok Junji t’es le boss
