*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.
This manga is a horror collection featuring creators Ryo Hanada, Aki Shimizu, and Shima Shinya with cover art by Junj Ito. It features doppelgangers, evil mirrors, demon cats, ghosts, and spirits. It’s pretty solid and varied with some great art. It’s perfect if you’re looking for a quick jolt of some spooky stuff, this isn’t a bad book if not very memorable. 3.9 out of 5.

Isla lives alone in a mansion deep in the woods and she hires Marie to help around the house. But Isla has some dark secrets and, told from the point of view of the house, puts the reserved Marie in peril.
It’s a unique choice to have the house tell the story and it’s one dramatic house. The writing is lyrical and poetic and since we don’t get much dialogue from the characters themselves, we don’t get a full explanation of that the heck is going on or what Isla is. I like the art, I think it fits the drama in the writing and having blood red as the only color is impactful for the eye. But I didn’t feel like I had the complete story so it was overall unsatisfying despite being initially intrigued. 3.2 out of 5.
