It's Finally Friday: The Horror of Junji Ito
Well, it's that time of the year again; time to dress up in costumes, go trick-or-treating, and watch and read all sorts of scary stories. And while one might think to watch some classic horror movies this Halloween, there's also plenty of manga that's guaranteed to scare, and nowhere is that more obvious than the work of Junji Ito. So for this Halloween, I've decided to demonstrate some of his more well-known works; get ready for some seriously disturbing nightmare fuel.

It's Finally Friday: Visual Novel Adaptations
By their very definition, visual novels straddle the line between a novel and a video game; typically with an emphasis on story over gameplay, they present players with a narrative that plays out largely like that of a book, with minimal interaction on the part of the player.
