He also wrote Uzumaki which you'd probably enjoy as well

u/PuritanPayne · 8 pointsr/junjiito

Uzumaki is $20 on Amazon right now.

u/ICallEveryoneBabe · 7 pointsr/TIHI

Assuming you haven't already you should really check out some of Ito's other stuff.

Here's my (and many other's) favorite short that hooks a lot of people into his work:

The Enigma of Amigara Fault

​

If you're looking for lengthier stories, his generally considered top 3 are Uzumaki, Gyo, and Tomie which are all available in beautiful hardcover here.

​

Stay creepy Babe!

He wasn't part of the devlopment team officially, but Kojima was meeting with him to get ideas for the game.
I've loved Ito's works for years, he has lot of stories that are very Silent Hill-esque overall. I really recommend just going through all of his oneshots - there are so many of them that it's veeeery hard to pinpoint certain oneshots of his to be the most Silent Hill like when very many of them are. It'd be an endless game of "This one. Oh and this one. Oh I forgot this one". I'll try to mention few that comes to mind though.
As others, I agree with Uzumaki, after all it's the ultimate story of a town where everything slowly starts to twist - literally. From oneshots Blood Sickness of the White Sands Village comes as kinda obvious one, but somehow also collection of Oshikiri oneshots comes to mind, especially as together (if you have read only one or two, I really recommend to read them all, they actually... connect, sort of, reminds me somehow of SH).
If anyone wants to read, his works can easily be read here, though I really recommend buying some of his collections ^^ they even look really nice on shelf if you buy them as a set.

...also as a side note not-related-to-horror but his Neko Nikki is amazing as well.

u/Jackie-Nirvana · 7 pointsr/horror

Oh yes, I second Uzumaki like /u/Goober_Pyle said. Junji Ito's Uzumaki and Gyo is good. Also, Black Hole by Charles Burns is awesome :D


For vampires, you may like the American Vampire Series.

u/Skreeonk · 6 pointsr/horror

Oh, hell yeah. Uzumaki by Junji Ito. (Link goes to Amazon.) So wonderfully bizarre and creepy. I tore through it in a matter of hours.

.

If you would like a sample of his style and storytelling abilities, check this out: The Enigma of Amigara Fault.

u/Hanashimaru · 6 pointsr/tilwtf

This one shot was made by Junji Ito, horror mangaka. Unfortunately I don't think many of his works have been translated to English, although you can find less... official versions of those.

One story that I know is translated is Uzumaki (Spiral). There also seems to be some others like Gyo and Tomie... Hmm, I think I need to do some shopping now!

u/ChickenInASuit · 5 pointsr/mildlyinteresting

Uzumaki = Japanese for "spiral."

There's sushi named uzumaki, there's a clan in Naruto called the Uzumaki Clan whose symbol is a Spiral, and there's also a Manga Horror book by Junji Ito where horrible things keep happening in spiral patterns called Uzumaki, which is what's being talked about here.

u/Ophiel239 · 5 pointsr/bloodborne

I'm just going to copy and paste something I have on hand since I answer this question a fair bit.


So, as far as writings similar to the series, you, of course, have Lovecraft. His writings that most resemble Bloodborne has to be The Dream-Quest of Unknown Khadaf. They reek of the Nightmare Frontier and the beings there are the most similar to what we see as Great Ones in the BB universe. The second tie-in has to be The Shadows over Innsmouth for the fishing hamlet and many other tropes in Bloodborne. The last one, The At the Mountains of Madness is basically the premise of humanity in its current state. I personally can say that almost everything Lovecraft has written can be 'adjacent' to the BB universe. But those three appear to be the direct link.

As far as other authors? Lord Dunsany is a well-known contributor to the creation of fictional universes. It's his writings that inspired Lovecraft as well as Tolkien and Frank herbert. As a bit of recent writings, House of Leaves is one of my favorite books.

Moving over. Did you know that Bloodborne is Japanese? It is (Lol)! and was inspired by a host of authors. The most telling of which happens to be Junji Ito and his work, Uzumaki. In the work, a series of strange happenings all involving a spiral end up making a town go crazy. He's also famed for his other works, Tomie and Gyo. The Enigma of Amigara Fault is also quite popular. Uzumaki is being made into an anime by Toonami.

There also Berserk. It has less of an impact on the series compared to Dark Souls but is still well-liked overall. The Executioner Wheel and the Hunter's Mark seem to come directly from it.

There's a Fan Comic, mostly about Gehrman's relationship with Maria. I like it quite a bit. Guy Davis's, The Marquis is so similar to Bloodborne you can just outright stick it in the universe and not bat an eye.

As far as movies there's not a whole lot. Angel's Egg seems to be the direct inspiration tonally and we know it's on the minds of From software. Brotherhood of the wolf is the direct inspiration for ALL the clothing of Bloodborne. The Cainhurst Noble set is actually taken from the series. I actually don't care for it. But you might like it. Bram Stoker's Dracula seems to be another inspiration, specifically to Cainhurst. I'm not a huge fan of that either. I'm much more a Van Hellsing sort of guy.


This is new, someone mentioned that the designer of Dracula did a lot of work that are Bloodborne-esque. I hope this was helpful!

u/Danorexic · 4 pointsr/anime_irl
u/SpiralintoMadness · 4 pointsr/SouthernReach

I've got a few recommendations for ya.

First off is, Memetic by James Tynion IV and Eryk Donovan. The story about an apocalyptic meme. Yes, a meme. May sound silly, but it does a good job of presenting a familiar, yet incomprehensible horror that immediately throws the world into chaos. Also, there's a good amount of gore and violence that any respectable apocalyptic story should have.

Next, Nameless by Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham. It's about an occult expert and a group of scientists trying to prevent a planet-killing asteroid from destroying Earth. Admittedly, this series is confusing and sporadic as hell. Its story likes to jump back and forth, and seems to operate under the aspect that there's a story that came prior, but I don't think there is. Its got gratuitous violence and madness inducing cosmological horror.

Last, but certainly not least, the works of the infamous Junji Ito. Junji Ito's style of horror is of the abstract kind that offers virtually no explanation ever. They can be simple stories, but typically utilize interesting, unexpected concepts. Notable works include: Uzumaki, the Enigma of Amigara Fault, Army of One, Hanging Balloons, Long Dream, and plenty others. Aside from his unorthodox concepts of horror, his incredible art style creates an atmosphere of unease and surrealism. You can actually find most, if not all, of his works translated online. I found that many of his older comics are out of print and being sold at exorbitant prices.

I'd say the most similar thing about these recommendations to the Southern Reach trilogy are their stories of mankind coming into contact with something that is completely beyond us, and unstoppable in its course. Meh. Enjoy.

u/TommBomBadil · 4 pointsr/ImaginaryHorrors

Look for Tomie or Uzimaki or Gyo. Those are his major works.

u/Unfortunate_Dildo · 3 pointsr/SCP

Some links to the mentioned mangas for those interested. Please actually support Junji Ito if you can, but I haven't found all of these translated and for sale:

Splatter Film (Honey)

Uzumaki (Spiral) Or Buy it

Do you mean Red String?

Hanging Balloons

The Coldness / The Chill

Hellstar Remina

While not all inclusive, here is a great index to read fan-translated works.

UZUMAKI: Spiral Into Horror by Junji Ito

This is a really neat horror-manga about a young girl living in a town that is cursed by spirals. Uzumaki, the word for spiral, is the title of this manga, but don't confuse it with that other guy, Naruto Uzumaki! Spirals are a recurring theme throughout, and the artwork is nothing short of grimacing. I received this as a gift for Christmas and loved it.

u/Troejg · 2 pointsr/manga

I live in a very small country, so its from a local internet store. But if you live in the states you can find it on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Uzumaki-3---1-Deluxe-vols/dp/1421561328/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452699174&sr=8-1&keywords=uzumaki+junji+ito

u/Psyloarchyx · 2 pointsr/stevenuniverse

MMMMMM!!! Let me tell you all about our lord and savior Junji Ito!

I'm going to want you to start by reading Ito's Museum of Terror series (sorry about that website). Although It's not complete, It's a darn good way of getting into the short stories that make up the bulk of Ito's work. So far My favorite stories are "Long Hair in the Attic", "My Dear Ancestors", "Hanging Balloons" and "The Groaning Drain". Although I have yet to read these one, I hear that "Intersection's Pretty Boy", "Bully" and "The Long Dream" are Ito classics. Also, I'm skipping volumes 5 & 6 because they may be released in a Souichi deluxe edition.

Hellstar Remina is the last work I'll recommend that you read online. Now were're talking about Ito bigger multi chapter products. It's a story about how having a planet named atfer you can REALLY fuck you over.
Although the art is utterly amazing, I personally found this one to be too silly and unbelievable at times.

Next up: Tomie! Before I go further, I want you to know that I believe paper is far superior to online when it comes to Ito. Ito's Comics are tailor made for the medium of comic books, thus Reading the physical book is my recommendation. Tomie is about an indestructible slut who is really good at spooking people. This is the series where OP's reference comes from. This series is one of Ito's earliest, so the art in the beginning looks janky for the most part. However, you'll get to see Ito's art evolve.

Now let's talk about Uzumaki. In Uzumaki, it literally spirals out of control! This book is absolutely amazing. It was so great, that it gave me legitimate fatigue in the last three chapters.

And now Gyo! Gyo looks like the crossover of Evil Dead and Sharknado. I can't really say much here, But It's still wroth the read.

Fragments of Horror: It's pretty much a continuation of Museum of Terror.

Then it's Yon & Mu. In Yon & Mu, Junji overreacts to cats. I'll actually won't recommend this one because it's a comedy that is full of self references.

Last, but not least, The Dissolving Classroom. In The Dissolving Classrom, two whipper snappers cause terrifying allegory shenanigans. Same thing with Gyo.

That is the right series but I recommend picking up this, it has all 3 volumes and has a beautiful hard cover .

u/PassionPitTime · 1 pointr/anime_irl

No problem! It's rare I get to recommend books and such like this.

http://www.amazon.com/Uzumaki-3---1-Deluxe-vols/dp/1421561328/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420486625&sr=8-1&keywords=uzamaki

This is a 3 in 1 collection of my favorite horror manga (and possibly one of my favorite horror stories in general), Uzumaki. It's a story about a curse on a town, causing spirals (the spiral shape is called an uzumaki) to appear everywhere, and slowly everything falls apart. Really a great read, it stuck with me after finishing it.

http://www.amazon.com/Tales-Terror-Tokyo-Over-Japan/dp/B0026LYMK0/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1420486613&sr=8-10&keywords=tales+of+terror

This may be my favorite j-horror anthology in my collection. It's cheap, but it's also better than many others out there. Each story is between 5 and 20 minutes long, with a total of 60 stories. While some of the stories are better than others, there really aren't any that are bad, like in some anthology collections. Easily worth the price.

I hope you enjoy them!

There is a really nice hardcover version available if anyone likes to collect those: http://www.amazon.com/Uzumaki-3---1-Deluxe-vols/dp/1421561328/

u/rocaterra · 1 pointr/manga

~20 bucks on amazon too! I'm about to buy that for myself after Christmas!

u/fireduck · 1 pointr/pics
u/TheCureToCancerIs · 1 pointr/manga

You try amazon or Bookdepository at all? Both sites are my go-to for manga purchases that also deliver new or used.

Tomie, Uzumaki, and Gyo are all famous horror titles by Junji Ito that are commonly suggested to people and are sold in complete editions. (All volumes are condensed into 1)

The names are linked to their respective amazon listings as well.

u/Bryanlop69 · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

The most horrifying book I've ever read would have to be Uzumaki the manga. It is about spirals and how fucking creepy they are

u/Dam_Kids · 1 pointr/TopMindsOfVoat

Sweet, thanks for the tip. I found it on Amazon all 3 volumes for like $15. The art looks great too.

u/ShinCoal · 1 pointr/comicbooks
