In a stunningly rare discovery, dozens of 2,000-year-old biblical scroll fragments have been excavated from Judean Desert caves during a daring rescue operation. Most of the newly discovered scroll fragments — the first such finds in 60 years — are Greek translations of the books of Zechariah and Nahum from the Book of the Twelve Minor Prophets, and are written in two scribal hands. Only the name of God is written in Hebrew in the texts. Ma no Kakera (魔の断片, also titled Shard of Evil or Fragments of Horror), is a series of short stories by Junji Ito.McCulloch, Joe (July 8, 2015). "Fragments of Horror". The Comics Journal . Retrieved January 6, 2018. This was my first foray into the world of mangaka Junji Ito and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. Fragments of Horror is quite simply one of the best horror anthologies I’ve come across in any medium. Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: The horrific imagery in "Futon" is either the work of a witch, or from hallucinations caused by a strange mold growing inside Tomio's futon. Make no mistake, though: Itō has more to say about fathers and daughters. And for those like me who prefer this artist in the mode of Gyo -- which, you'll recall, concerns the sudden and gaseous emergence of all the fish in the ocean to smother humanity with the wriggling mass of their putrefying flesh -- it's “Wooden Spirit” that will emerge as the best goddamned thing in Fragments of Horror by an empty ocean's length.

Statuesque Stunner: Manami Kino is unusually tall for Ito's women, but she's no less pretty...at least, before she turns into wood. The last panel of "Magami Nanakuse" shows that the protagonist has been put on display in the town hall where Nanakuse cavorts with the town leaders, apparently still alive yet trapped in her own paralyzed, disfigured body.Motifs: Female/feminine horrors and twisted relationships and roles feature in each of the stories.

El ave negra. (****) Un alpinista es encontrado tras una accidente. Al poco sabremos cómo logró sobrevivir tantos días. Original y perturbador. Looters and archaeologists alike have combed the Judean Desert since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls some 70 years ago. Aside from two silver scrolls engraved with the biblical Priestly Blessing (from the late 7th to early 6th century BCE) discovered in Ketef Hinnom in Jerusalem, the Dead Sea Scrolls are considered the earliest known copies of the biblical books and span from circa 400 BCE to 300 CE. Dead All Along: In "Gentle Goodbye", Riko learns that her sister-in-law, Tomoka was actually an "after-image", a living memory created by the family to give them more time to let go and accept her death. So was Riko.

These arguably Freudian themes are heightened in “Dissection-chan”, which finds a bland medical student -- Itō is laudable consistent with the dullness of his protagonists -- confronted with a human cadaver which not only proves to be alive, but turns out to be a woman he'd known since childhood. Ruriko was always obsessed with playing doctor, and loved nothing more than dissecting hapless animals with the coerced aid of our narrating non-hero. Now as an adult, she wants to be dissected herself, to relieve the mysterious and lascivious aches in her belly: “Aaaaah! I get turned on just imagining it!” she grins, laying nude in the narrator's apartment. He does not consent, and it is only years later, when he has become a teacher, that they are reunited: her dead on the slab and him unexpectedly tasked with dissecting his old friend before an eager class. All of them are stunned by what they find as her belly is opened – new animals, mutant forms of the critters she dissected as a child, crammed into her body in place of any logical organs, as if having burst from her womb and devoured everything in sight. Ruriko's corpse smiles. It is accomplished. Potty Failure: The protagonist of "Magami Nanakuse" gets so distraught when Nanakuse begins taunting her that she wets herself, which only increases the taunting. Wooden Spirit" contains a sex scene. But it's also a woman making love to a house, which is weird enough before it impossibly warps the structure and turns her into wood. De resto me ha parecido una parodia con un tono demasiado absurdo y con aspectos que no me han gustado nada como están tratados. But more on point, I think, is Itō's great predecessor in horror comics creation: Kazuo Umezu.
