Junji Ito meets Mary Shelley! The master of horror manga bends all his skill into bringing the anguished and solitary monster–and the fouler beast who created him–to life with the brilliantly detailed chiaroscuro he is known for. Also included are six tales of Oshikiri–a high school student who lives in a decaying mansion connected to a haunted parallel world. Uncanny doppelgangers, unfortunately murdered friends, and a whole lot more are in store for him. Bonus: The Ito family dog! Thrill to the adventures of Non-non Ito, an adorable Maltese! Frankenstein: Junji Ito Story Collection by Junji Ito – eBook Details Por eso cogí con miedo la adaptación de Junji Ito, porque a pesar de lo mucho que me gustan sus obras para mí 'Frankenstein' es sagrado. Pero Ito nos demuestra una vez más que es un maestro en lo suyo y su visión de la obra original es simplemente deliciosa. I don’t like it when Ito writes about his own cats and dogs, as he does here at the end. Breaks the ghostly mood. Collect them elsewhere.. His longest work, the three-volume Uzumaki, is about a town's obsession with spirals: people become variously fascinated with, terrified of, and consumed by the countless occurrences of the spiral in nature. Apart from the ghastly, convincingly-drawn deaths, the book projects an effective atmosphere of creeping fear as the town's inhabitants become less and less human, and more and more bizarre things begin to happen. Frankenstein', de Mary Shelley. Uno de mis libros favoritos y uno de los grandes de la literatura universal.

Ah Ito-sensei, how I've missed you. In this edition, not only do we get Ito-sensei's great manga adaptation of the Shelley classic Frankenstein, but also several horror shorts involving alternate dimensions, dolls, dental equipment, and precious doggos. Junji Ito is the master of horror when it comes to manga. I'll read everything he releases because I know those stories are going to be demented and body melting. Plus this one has a retelling of one of my favorite books. Also included are six tales of Oshikiri — a high school student who lives in a decaying mansion connected to a haunted parallel world. Uncanny doppelgängers, unfortunately murdered friends, and a whole lot more are in store for him.The Hell of the Doll Funeral, where 30% of the world’s population of children are mysteriously turning into dolls. Terrifying, body horror, goodness! There have been multiple Frankenstein retellings — from the comedic film Young Frankenstein to Disney’s Frankenweenie; at this point, I feel like everyone has indulged in some sort of Frankenstein tale. Please, horror friends, don’t hate me for this next comment, but I’ve never been a huge fan of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. I have major respect for the story, but reading it was a total drag. So, upon seeing Junji Ito’s rendition of the classic, I had a pretty good inkling that he would not let me down. Aquí nos retratara a un monstruo majestuoso de más de dos metros envuelto en vendas y con una presencia impactante que aterraría hasta al más grande de los humanos. The Walls is my favourite story of the collection. An earthquake opens up some old walls in the house revealing the corpses buried within them - and then his long-missing parents suddenly return from working abroad. Or are they his parents…? Definitely the scariest and most macabre story here.

The main theme throughout is that of alternate dimensions and inter-dimensional travel. It’s really fun to see how these stories link and see how it all unfolds for Oshikiri and his group of classmates. there are only a few differences and these have probably made the story more adaptable to its format. Although Goodreads has this as just Frankenstein by Junji Ito, this is actually volume 16 of his Horror Comic Collection. It's also the first tale I've ever seen where Ito has adapted a European/Western horror tale instead of the usual eastern folklore. It's a relatively faithful adaptation of the Mary Shelley novel instead of the classic Universal monster film. It is however a little on the short side when compared to Shelley's novel, and many of the rich details of her book are left out in this adaptation. That being said, all of the key players are in tact, the setting is accurate both in time and place, and Frankenstein's monster is as complex and tortured as his novel counterpart. A boy is tired of girls following him around because of how in love they are with him and jumps in a bog to get away from them disappearing. I found the story for this one pretty weak. The maid is executed for murdering Frankenstein’s little brother, solely on the “evidence” that she had the boy’s pendant on her person. That’s 18th century justice for ya! And then later when he creates the Bride of Frankenstein, he just happens to come across a town full of freshly deceased young women! And all he needs is his sewing kit and some jars of liquid to animate the Bride because it’s just that easy to create life!I really enjoyed this collection. The Frankenstein section was so good and I loved seeing his visuals with one of my favourite stories of all time. Junji Ito's style lends itself so well to gothic horror! It matched the story so perfectly and his Frankenstein's Monster was genuinely quite hard to look at in some panels.

Contains an adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein along with 10 short stories most of which are semi-connected.Actually, having recently watched James Whale's whale of a trilogy of Frankenstein films, I'm feeling a bit surfeited on Frankensteiniana at the moment. So, Ito's adaptation of Frankenstein happened to be my least favorite of the stories collected here — although, speaking of Whale, I liked how Ito incorporated Bride of Frankenstein's horrified rejection of the monster, even though she's a corpse-cobbled monster her own self.

The brilliance of Ito’s version reaches its pitch in Frankenstein’s creation of the monster. In Ito’s hands, there is no marvelous invention, no awe-inspiring contraption to ogle. Scientific-looking trinkets are littered about the room like scattered beer cans, the room of his birth more a 19th century man-cave than a laboratory. What we are drawn to is the mass of body parts strung together, their organs oozing onto a mat laid out so that maybe the floors will stay clean. It’s too big, gnarly, already a mistake, too much body for the room to bear. And then he stands up! In the room that can’t sustain him! There are plenty of depictions of Frankenstein’s monster that capture the poetry of this moment - Bernie Wrightson’s illustrated version immediately comes to mind - but this is the rare vision which makes the act of creation as violent and grotesque as an act of killing. Here the delirious dirge of horror pollutes the prettiness of the plain. This may have been my favorite collection though. Frankenstein was great, but the stories about the haunted house and a portal to alternate dimensions were spectacular. Me encanta cómo mantiene su esencia pero adapta también el dibujo, haciéndolo más sobrio, con escenarios menos abstractos y oníricos. La manera de abordar la historia, con mimo y respeto, y los cambios que hace para plasmarla en menos de 200 páginas, consiguiendo que cierres el tomo y digas: SÍ, yo te compro lo que haga falta. A ti sí, maestro Ito. A ti sí. I never really cared to read this one previously. I’ve read Frankenstein, and I’m about hearing new stories, new concepts, etc.I think the majority of society knows the story of Frankenstein at this point, whether through pop culture or actually reading Mary Shelley's novel. This version, Junji Ito's graphic novel telling, is easily one of my favorites. Hell of the Doll Funeral” is a short nightmare of children turned into dolls, and, well, then funerals. The translator calls this “dollification,” heh.
