All of the chapters in this collection is great. Some of them will tingle you with horror other will trouble you with gore...And some of them are rather emotional than straight up horror...My favorite story from all of this is Gentle Goodbye...Scary and beautiful at the same time... Whispering Woman is also in the same category of Gentle Goodbye... Emotional, beautiful yet somehow scary... Dissection-chan however, is extremely gorey and sick... It's very sick but it has a touching story too.
The art is wonderful and sickening. Amazing ink works.
