University student Mimi and her boyfriend Naoto encounter one chilling mystery after another. There's the enigmatic neighbor woman dressed in black from head to toe—but if she's so odd, why does it seems like there are many others like her? Then, whose eyes track Mimi's movements from the cemetery next door? And why does a bizarre red circle drawn on a basement wall change with each passing day? Nine scary stories that really happened, drawn from the famed collecton of urban legends Shin Mimibukuro (New Earmuffs), and adapted into manga by horror genius Junji Ito!...Rated:T+

      Gr 9 Up-From a master of horror comes a finely tuned adaptation of urban legends from Shin Mimibukuro. Each short story has two things in common: the spunky Mimi as the protagonist and a plot where the supernatural invades an everyday life situation. Tension builds more often from the unexplained factors rather than from any immediate threat, however some characters do experience trauma or die. Ito carefully crafts the atmosphere and pace of each story to draw readers into a mindset of light unease. Ordinary settings and characters look mundane right until the horrific appears. With the added heavy black inks, exaggerated expressions, and wispy lined details, the realistic dips into the uncanny. One's mental landscape develops a step further when the creepily lettered sound effects build in an aural component. Even after finishing, these feelings linger because the supernatural is often left unnamed and either ends without explanation or remains lurking just at the edge of reality. As a bonus, this work also includes Ito's one-shot story "Monster Prop." VERDICT For those who prefer spooky supernatural horror, this single volume collection of urban legends will send a pleasing chill or two up the spine.-Rachel Forbes
