That’s why I consider it to be the fun kind of disturbing.Īlso this book is finally being reprinted be it’s available for pre order from a company called starfruit books. And the imagery of the headless corpses in a bar is both grotesque and kind of silly. Unless he’s using an anti-coagulant the whole collecting blood for later thing is kind of impractical. Some this stuff is over the top and humorous so it’s entertaining to read. Then the artist goes into an exaggerated version of his life story which makes up most of the book, from what I can recall. Hino throws in a little joke where one of the corpses asks to be served “ass”. If I remember right the corpses like to eat different body parts. They have no mouths to eat or drink with so she kindly cuts them a new mouth in their necks. His wife works a bar and her patrons are headless corpses. He collects his own blood daily by bleeding himself out in different ways to ensure he always has a good supply. His house is in the middle of a hellish landscape and he’s working on his art, which he paints with his own blood.
Like the ones that focus on sexual abuse and things like that. There’s books that are disturbing to me in a way that is just miserable and I want nothing to do with. I haven’t read it in 2 years, but I remember it being disturbing in an entertaining and fun way. Hell, someone said, is not a world that exists beyond ours, rather behind it.
The English version has been translated and published in the USA by Blast Books. The page on the left is what was used for the cover art of a manga called Panorama of Hell. Panorama of Hell (revisited) Januby Guido Negretti Writer and Artist: Hideshi Hino, 1984 This review is based on the French edition published by IMHO in 2020.
This picture is from an art book called the Art of Hideshi Hino.
