ROAR OF AGES, by Junji Ito (Voices in the Dark ch3)

Voices in the Dark is a collection of horror shorts from Junji Ito, published in 2003. The stories themselves were previously published in bimonthly serials in magazines from Asahi Sonorama.

Chapter three this time, ROAR OF AGES. Another surprisingly safe for work entry. That makes two of three in this collection so far!

Fans might find this story about a mysterious flood kind of dull, departing as it does from the usual formula of gross schlock villain. But I liked it, and I’m grateful to the short story format that Ito can experiment with something more sad and earnest.

Plus he draws a pretty mean looking flood.
