Spook Month: Junji Ito's Tomie!

In which Spook Month (aka October) begins with a bang!  Or a stabbing?  There were lots of stabbings in this book.  Anyway, it's time to celebrate with another theme month!  Junji Ito is the subject of our first episode of the month.  Will it be scary?  Or maybe creepy?  What about SPOOKY??

So we're doing another theme month!  Get used to it 'cuz there's more to come!  What do you think so far?  What do you think of theme months?  What do you think of months in general?  I personally am pretty in to November.  Tell us what you think!  Leave us a comment and rating wherever you pull this podcast!  Hit us up on the social media!  Send an email!  Talk to us!
