From the mind of Kazuo Umezz, undisputed master of Japanese horror manga and creator of The Drifting Classroom and Orochi, comes Cat-Eyed Boy! This deluxe edition contains five classic horror stories featuring a mysterious and dangerous cat-eyed boy who lives among humans, comes from the world of demons, and is despised by both. In four morbid tales, he interacts with humans and monsters to often-devastating ends. Then, in a final story, Cat-Eyed Boy must decide where his true loyalties lie—or if he has any loyalties at all.

      Grades 9-12 Cat-Eyed Boy is an enigmatic creature, not fully human and not fully demon, who moves from attic to attic in different towns, and he seems to bring monsters and mayhem wherever he goes. There are tsunami-summoning demons, body-swapping creatures, and a band of monsters determined to make evildoers as ugly on the outside as their impure hearts are. Many of the central themes focus on internal and external beauty and the content of one's character matching the outward appearance. Umezz uses classic horror techniques, some more disturbing than others, so there is a lot of body horror, some cruelty to animals, some bloody violence, and a few jump scares. This style will appeal to fans of Junji Ito without having some of the more adult horror themes that make some of Ito's books a little too mature for school libraries. Umezz' art style and narrative pacing will appeal more to fans of classic horror films, but modern horror junkies may be missing the psychological thrills and more jump scares.
