After receiving a cryptic letter from her fiancé, a woman returns to her hometown only to be drawn into a ghostly alley that seems to whisper her name. As she follows the voice deeper into the narrow corridor, reality distorts, time collapses, and the alley begins revealing buried fears and memories she tried to escape. At the center of this labyrinth lies a supernatural force that feeds on regret, guilt, and unresolved emotion.
“The Alley” is one of Junji Ito’s most atmospheric stories—quiet, psychological, and suffocating—using space, repetition, and claustrophobic imagery to evoke dread rather than explosive horror.
This hardback edition blends Ito’s trademark body-horror with surreal psychological terror, delivering a haunting story about fear that lingers long after the alley has vanished.
Ito has explained that many tales were inspired by real “thin places” in Japanese towns—narrow, liminal spaces like alleys, tunnels, and stairways where normal rules feel suspended.
