Try reading pic related.
Not that horrific, but more like a surreal and what the fuck I'm reading type of book.
The ending felt very similar to Junji Ito's work tho.

I think Ito's style of horror can only really be conveyed through comics, and in any other medium something is lost. For example the Spiral Into Horror movie was nowhere near as eerie as the comic. At the core of Ito's horror is the feeling of apprehension at every turn of the page when you see what has panicked the characters so completely, and I just don't think something like that can be conveyed through words.

Kago is a little too surreal to the point of being amusing, whereas Ito is more straight horror in my opinion (although some of his stories are pretty silly).

True.
I just never got anything out of Junji's hideous art. Uzimaki (for instance) was too random and absurd, jumping from one horror to the next to be creepy. Just a compilation of his short stories, which are also pretty uninteresting
Whereas I've tried to read eveything of Kago that's been translated.
I guess I'm just not into horror though so w/e.
