![]() "Death Row Doorbell" - 3/5 The remaining family members of a gang killing are haunted by the ringleader, begging for their forgiveness. I thought, at first, that they had something to do with the crime committed, but then couldn't find a pattern. ![]() Wonderful and creative idea, but I wish the poses had been explained a little more. It's gradually revealed that they're drawn to spots of guilt and shame. "Earthbound" - 5/5 On day in Japan, people start to become cemented to a particular spot in strange poses. "Roar" - 3/5 Two hikers find a ghost flood, where the disastrous dam burst is recreated every day, and the man who is obsessed with it. Great twist that they're tickling everyone, and wonderful ending: they achieve world domination. "Ghosts of Prime Time" - 4/5 I actually really liked this one! A very strange comedy duo uses their spirits to ensure that they always kill. ![]() "Bloodsucking Darkness" - 3/5 A young woman develops an eating disorder after a breakup, and a student from her school decides to use his pet vampire bats to feed her while she sleeps. ![]() ![]() "Ghosts of Prime Time," "Death Row Doorbell," and "Earthbound" are also inventive and wonderful. Sometimes bad things just keep happening, and the villains win.Īnd Ito is ridiculously creative and original I had no idea what "Smashed," the title story, would be, but it was unexpected and great. What I love about Ito's stories is that there isn't always a happy ending. ![]()
