At the behest of Nick and Keyar, I recently read the entirety of Uzumaki. It's a twenty chapter horror manga that is realized in disturbingly vivid detail. The only significant detail I can provide about the story without giving anything away is that the town is contaminated with spirals. It does a good job of setting the standard for creepiness from the first chapter. The horror factor climaxes around chapter eleven, so if you manage to make it that far you should be alright for the rest of the series. Also watch for chapter six. It turned out more funny than horrific, really. I found the series a pretty good way to get into the Haloween spirit. If you wish you can check it out here (it's read left to right).
What else have I been doing? I saw Zombieland last week. That was another great way to get into the Haloween spirit. I've been playing around with Magic cards and Fallout 3 in my free time. NaNoWriMo starts next Sunday so I'm looking forward to that. I can't really think of anything else to report.
Uneventfully yours,

I read all of Elfen Lied. It gave me the creeps and many many nightmares but I forced myself thorugh because I just had to know how it ended. It also taught me that I shouldn't start horror Manga because even if it's disturbing me I can't stop because I need to know the ending.
ReplyDeleteYay for creepy festivities!
ReplyDeleteDry the dishes.
ReplyDeleteIs that story board comic book thing I gave you helping at all? Like have you read it? Wanna do some story boards now?
ReplyDeleteElfen Lied was scary, Jess? O_o I just thought it was kinda action-y....
ReplyDeleteMight have to check that manga out, after I finish watching Tenjou Tenge.
And yey NaNoWriNo
