In this horror manga, there are thirteen chapters, each written by different mangakas. Each chapter consists of either ghosts or an eldritch creature that causes trouble. The art style differs from every chapter, for the most part, the art styles are pretty good. The same thing goes for the narratives, they also differ for every chapter, they could go from having a gloomy ending to either a disturbing ending. For some chapters, the characters are either likable or dislikable due to their behavior.

Overall, I enjoyed reading this anthology of short horror stories, if you enjoy horror as much as I do then you should ... give this one a read.

Not a bad horror manga anthology, but absolutely nothing memorable here. Like any such work, the quality of the stories varies greatly as does the quality of the art. Most of them are gruesome, but in a teenager-kind of way. A lot of visually repulsive stuff like guts, decapitations, and such, but nothing existentially unsettling. This, coupled with the brevity of each story and the fact that they finish with a very predictable "shocking" ending, makes for a very underwhelming read.

Having finished it a few weeks ago and not remembering almost any of the stories except maybe for the one with the book browsers, ... says it all about this.
