LikedI did really enjoy the stories, but the thing is some of them I had already read cuz some of these stories have already been included in other short story collections
Alley (2024)
Creators: Liked Every night, a young man hears children playing outside his boarding house—but the alley below his window is fenced off from the world. Then, when a young woman’s family starts acting strangely at the same time she begins having bizarre dreams, she decides to stay with her aunt, but the town she heads for has neither addresses nor roads... Also, an all-you-can-eat ice cream bus that’s more sinister than sweet! Legendary horror author Junji Ito presents ten bloodcurdling short stories.

LovedI finished Alley this morning and I loved it. I thought it was so good. I think it's probably the best short story collection that Junji Ito has done in such a long time.
MixedI feel like this collection started off so strong because the first two short stories I ended up giving them five stars like I loved the first two in this collection and then I feel like most of the stories after that ended up being like okay for me
