Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. Rather than the usual collection of unrelated short stories, this volume focuses on one main character and repeating secondary ones. It reads as an episodic novel rather than short stories. The artwork is gorgeous as usual but there is nothing particularly gruesome or unsettling. It felt like a much more minor horror than Ito's usual creepy fair. That said the character of Soichi was definitely creepy. He is an evil character but one feels a degree of sympathy for him by the end. It is an engrossing story and a good addition to my collection of this author's books. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"Soichi, the unhinged second son of the Tsujii family, chews nails and makes them clatter and clack as he spouts horrific curses to bring about the most bizarre happenings. Whether it's summer holidays or a birthday party, Soichi can turn any occasion into a nightmare in a heartbeat. What is the terrible secret of his origin?' Meanwhile, tormented by his little brother's never-ending pranks, older brother Koichi has a soundproof room built. But why does it have a series of four doors? And then there's the strange phenomenon surrounding the handmade casket their grandfather left behind. What on earth--or hell--has the family seen there? Ten tales that celebrate the sinister and hilarious world of Junji Ito's favorite antihero, Soichi!"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

And yet, somehow, watching his successes and failures became a bit addictive as i made my way through the book, sort of like watching Wile E. Coyote or the black and white spies from Mad magazine.
If you find yourself wanting more Soichi, the Junji Ito collection Smashed has three stories featuring him that are not collected here.
UPDATE December 13, 2023:
After reading this, I revisited the Smashed collection and found that the Soichi stories there sort of resolve the cliffhanger ending here. So be sure to check that out.
And the bizarre model who appears in a couple of the stories here and there will make more a little more sense if you first read the Fuchi stories in Ito's Shiver collection.
