Synopsis "Uncanny: The Origins of Fear (Junji Ito)"

For the first time since his debut 35 years ago, horror master Junji Ito reveals exactly how he creates his unique worlds. Why are we drawn to fear? Horror manga legend Junji Ito has fascinated the world with his beautiful and strange tales, starting with his debut story "Tomie," and followed by Uzumaki, Gyo, and many other famous works. In this memoir/horror manga analysis, he tells all and digs into dark recesses--reflections on influences from his childhood, thoughts on manga, next-level idea generation techniques, character design, craftmanship, and more. Chock-full of never-before-told insider anecdotes and behind-the-scenes stories, this is a must-have book for fans to immerse themselves completely in the world of Junji Ito.
