A review by bookishfaye
Frankenstein by Junji Ito

dark fast-paced

2.75

⭐️⭐️.75/5

I loved the Frankenstein portion of the story, but the other short stories felt incredibly random to include in this volume; I didn’t really care for them & it really killed the vibe. I wish Junji Ito stuck with just Frankenstein maybe told through short stories, short stories for different gothic horror classics, or even half Frankenstein/half his own retelling/rendition of Frankenstein. Idk, the format he chose for this one just felt really disjointed and random. Specifically the Frankenstein portion was a solid like 4.5⭐️, but the rest dropped my rating down.
