Grease - Grossest of all the imagery. I hate pus and pimple popping so this grossed me tf out

Honoured Ancestors - Ohhh the imagery was so good. I was wondering why he was on his back. Creepy (though yet again, I feel bad for the FMC)

The Long Dream - This reminds me of a Black Mirror type situation. Funnily enough to me, the idea being trapped in an eternal dream is scarier than dying, which is probably one lesson that can be taken from this.

Painter - This may be the weakest one so far unless you look at it as a woman. How men can be so possessive of beauty that they resort to the last few panels of this story. That to me, is true horror.

Hanging Blimp - Considering things in Japan and the subject matter of this story, it’s pretty morbid. The end was one of my favourites because of how unsettling it was. Suicide is a touchy point with me so it makes sense I felt uncomfortable with it overall

Fashion Model - Nah this one scares me. I hated the panels and artwork in this one. They’re also incredibly stupid for all the decisions they made lol, I can’t feel bad for them

Shiver - I don’t actually find bugs crawling in holes of a body as scary as I should. In real life, hell yes, but this one was fine to me.

Record Player - I actually really liked this one. Cool concept and honestly pretty creepy
