Froid Glacial

by Junji Ito, Virginie Nebbia (Preface), Anaïs Koechlin (Translator)

Un nouvel élève aux étranges aptitudes qui vient semer la discorde dans le club des adeptes de phénomènes paranormaux, des canalisations dont s'échappent de déchirants râles d'agonie, une forêt aux fruits gorgés de sang, de sinistres ballons arborant des visages humains qui flottent comme des pendus, des pantins aux allures maléfiques, un avion de ligne qui disparaît dans le ciel avec tous ses passagers...

Pressentez-vous déjà le glaçant frisson qui parcourra votre colonne vertébrale à mesure que vous tournerez les pages de ces huit effroyables nouvelles signées par le maître de l'horreur ?

Cette édition bénéficie 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.

Great anthology but I’d already read a couple stories. I did really like the last two ones about the plane and time capsule.
