#7-#8. Gyo Vol. I & II by Junji Ito

I had heard of these graphic novels before, most recently in reference to a bonus story called “The Engima of Amigara Fault,” so I finally sat down and read them the other night. The two books tell an unsettling saga of walking sea creatures coming up onto land, causing chaos and raising many questions. Where did their shiny, strange legs come from? What do they want? And what on earth is going to happen next? The mystery becomes much more complex than anyone could have imagined, and has sinister overtones for the future of humanity. I would definitely recommend this tale to fans of horror!
