Black Paradox (Junji Ito)

I will buy anything with this dudes name on it, so don't mind me, but this is full of touchy topics that creep and I appreciate seeing more NEW stuff from a guy I've read going on 20 years ( and he had 15 under his belt already when i found him! ) even though he has admitted he's slowed down a bit. If you liked the previous book you'll like this, its more about social media, with one bonus story that really isn't. Despite being an older work, it aged perfectly for release now. But why oh why did they choose glitter for the cover font? Its beautiful to look at otherwise but the big bookseller where i bought this end cap had unicorn dandruff all over it, ew. Other than that I love the hardback format, thank you viz. Better than any scanlation release, a great addition. It looks like we're finally getting Scarecrows in another new Ito book next March! I will continue to follow this man into his many spiral hells please and thank you.

I've been a fan of Junji Ito's work for a really long time, so I was thrilled to see this book on NetGalley! I'm so glad that I got a copy of it to review, because each new graphic novel is a new look into a little slice of horror. BLACK PARADOX focuses on a quartet of people who have decided that they are done with life. Although they decide to end it for good, it turns out that fate has a different idea of what will happen to them next. (This is seriously the least spoiler-y way for me to describe it - it's really tough to talk about what happens!) In the usual Ito fashion, the story takes twists and turns that you won't expect, and ends in a way that will stick with you for a long time. Although I'm mostly focusing on children's and teens' literature these days, I always have to make time for my favorite scary stories. BLACK PARADOX is not one to miss if you too enjoy Ito's work. I highly recommend this book!

Great story as always! His twist and turns never fail
