This was Odoroo Dorothy's first published work, submitted in December 2019, though she's made several twitter one-shots in this vein. One of those was about a girl who could see a ghost and pretended not to. Which was a lot more light hearted and less gruesome than the rest, at least before it was picked up into serialization. Dorothy's old twitter one-shots always felt a little Junji Ito inspired to me, only much sillier but often with a dark twist at the end.
Erm akshully the slit mouth woman is supposed to ask if you think she’s pretty BEFORE taking off the mask and then if you say yes take it off and ask again.
Proving once more that the real horrors of this world are humans~
Humans horrifying monsters is always one of my favorite variants of horror. I've always felt very skeptical of the "horrors beyond human comprehension" thing; we are quite capable of comprehending a lot of horror all by ourselves.
