If you were ever interested in what "Retro Horror" looks like, this is an interesting place to start. Nothing is particularly groundbreaking but it's a really interesting peak into what horror looked like in the 70's and 80's in Japan. I personally find it super fascinating. It's a quick read but I'd recommend if that kind of curiosity comes naturally to you then I'd say go ahead and read. Story A bit predictable but was likely revolutionary for the time. Art styleUnique, we don't see many art styles like this anymore, some would even say childish. Characters A bit silly, one-off usually and discarded after the next chapter. Each chapter is its own self contained story.
Welcome to one of the most disturbing minds in Japanese manga! Hideshi Hino has long been considered a master of the horror manga genre since his coming out in the late seventies. And the four stories in Lullabies from Hell will show you how demented the man can be. The self-titled first chapter introduces you to the author himself, a horror quasi-biography of sorts. The second story tells of Hino's having willed his pregnant wife into birthing a horrible, planet-devastating reptile baby that eats puppies and children! And you can imagine how the stories progress from there. Take a look inside the mind of a madman! Published in the popular, unretouched and unflopped manga format, Lullabies from Hell might make sleeping a bit of a challenge! (Source: Dark Horse)
