Uzumaki, Spiral into Horror
By Junji Ito
Kurôzu-cho, a small fogbound town on the coast of Japan, is cursed.

It manifests itself in small ways: seashells, ferns, whirlpools in water, whirlwinds in air. And in large ways: the spiral marks on people's bodies, the insane obsessions of Shuichi's father, the voice from the cochlea in your inner ear.
