Venus in the Blind Spot

by Junji Ito

Overview

Notes From Your Bookseller

Junji Ito's collections are always worth it. This one is just as disturbing as you'd expect, making chairs far more thought-provoking than they were ever meant be. Along with chairs, there are also aliens, pandemics and an Ito favorite — tongues.

A “best of” collection of creepy tales from Eisner award winner and legendary horror master Junji Ito.

This striking collection presents the most remarkable short works of Junji Ito’s career, featuring an adaptation of Rampo Edogawa’s classic horror story “Human Chair” and fan favorite “The Enigma of Amigara Fault.” With a deluxe presentation—including special color pages, and showcasing illustrations from his acclaimed long-form manga No Longer Human—each chilling tale invites readers to revel in a world of terror.
