A story that features a new husband that seems disconnected with reality.

Some of my favourite stories within Venus in the Blind Spot were, An unearthly love. Mental illness for many of these haunting stories become and inevitable conclusion. Violence has the capability of ruining the victims contained within. Each story has a catalyst, an implosion point that sets the tone for the remainder of the story. On first meet you think these people have the perfect lives, perfect families and perfect lifestyles but on the flip side the reader peels back the multiple layers of perfectville and are left with a stripped back corpse the rotten remains spilling out and infecting all those that come across them. Darkness has seeped into these stories and it’s a set of stories that aren’t likely to be forgotten in a hurry. There is tales of misadventure, Japanese lore, and the undercurrents of love and suffering constantly being the backbone of the collection. The artwork and the storytelling is both horrific and awe inspiring. It isn’t something that I would have necessarily picked up but I received it in an Abominable Book Box. Venus in the Blind Spot is my first ever Manga novel.
