HINO HIDESHI

That?s because his favorite snacks are grotesque Bugs from Hell. These creatures live in the hearts of people, where they grow fat and hideous until they are ready to devour the very souls that nourish them. Oninbo can smell a bug a mile away, and will risk anything to get his hands on a ripe, juicy specimen. But he?s not the only one with a bug appetite. Mamushinbo, his demon rival, is also after the Bugs from Hell. The Hino Horror series: Hino Horror Volume 1: The Red Snake (??? Akai Hebi) Hino Horror Volume 2: The Bug Boy (????

Long time ago, there was a place called swamp of slumber, used by the people to throw animal corpses. Near the swamp lived a farmer called Zoroku; he wasnt very smart. One day he got a rare disease. There are at least three collections of Hino's stories that were published under the title "Zoroku's Strange Disease" over the years, all of them containing a different mix of stories to accompany the title story. This translation is based on the 1976 edition by Hibari Comics and includes the stories "Underwater", "The Newborn Rat" and "The 1000 Pound Demon" in addition to "Zoroku's Strange Disease", obviously. "Zoroku's Strange Disease" has been previously published in English in a collection called "Lullabies from He**" (Dark Horse Comics, 2006) but I am fairly sure the other stories haven't been translated before.
