However, there’s more to this album than meets the eye and it’s one that leads her down a supernatural, uncomfortable route. The singer’s voice and the melody of it is just so enrapturing and moving that she wants the record badly. Our collection of horror and mayhem begins on a lighter tale, probably the lightest tale here, “Used Records.” A young woman named Nakayama is utterly entranced by this mysterious record a friend of hers, Ogawa, has. Without any further adieu, let’s hear what our staff had to say… Used Records Shiver is unique in that it’s a bit of a “Best of” volume, featuring nine past tales handpicked by Ito as well as a tenth that debuted in its pages. With regards to the manga and anime section, what better choice could there be than the work of Junji Ito? In the spirit of our group review of Fragments of Horror some years back, we came together to discuss another of the horror legend’s short story collections: Shiver. For the month of October we’ll be sharing various pieces of underappreciated scary books, comics, movies, and television to help keep you terrified and entertained all the way up to Halloween.Īll this month, the AiPT! staff has been searching for appropriate topics and media to dive into to celebrate the Halloween season. Welcome to another installment of 31 Days of Halloween! This is our chance to set the mood for the spookiest and scariest month of the year as we focus our attention on horror and Halloween fun.
