It’s a genre which simply doesn’t appeal to me — each to their own, I guess, but I’ve honestly never understood the appeal of watching/reading/looking at/listening to something which leaves me terrified. I have more of a stomach for gore (though I find it unnecessary), but psychological horror absolutely defeats me. The Dead Sea Scrolls, a collection of Jewish manuscripts penned between the third century B.C. and the first century A.D., include the oldest known fragments of the Hebrew Bible. Modern researchers first learned of the texts’ existence in the 1940s, when local Bedouin shepherds happened upon a set of the scrolls in the Qumran Caves.

I will conclude by noting that Itō published another book of horror shorts just a few months after Fragments of Horror was released in Japan: The Melting Classroom, collecting linked shorts which initially ran in the Akita Shoten josei magazine motto!, aimed at women. These are raucous, splattery things starring a pair of demonic siblings who cause people's brains to leak out of their faces; very different from Fragments of Horror. Art from "The Melting Classroom", Akita Shoten, 2014 In an optimistic attempt to be one step ahead of looters, the inter-departmental national project was launched in 2017 to survey Judean Desert caves. A few promising caves were subsequently excavated at some colorfully named locations, including the Cave of Horror — where over 40 skeletons have thus far been uncovered — and the Cave of Skulls. About 20 more promising caves could be excavated in the next stage of the operation, provided the budget is allocated. And from this, Itō may draw a concluding joke: he is a pretender, placing himself in the guise of a woman to pillage from women, and profit mightily. If you look at the small excerpt up above, the encounter between Magami and her editor reverses the encounter between Itō and his editor detailed at the top of this piece; that which once began with uncertainty, Itō parodically ends with absolute supplication, throwing any trash at his publisher and winning complete approval. Magami Nanakuse" could be seen as a wry look at Ito's own role as an author (who frequently writes about obsession and compulsion, for that matter) taking inspiration from other artists and posing as a creator of a type he doesn't think he applies to (given the original Shōjo publication the stories ran in). Aside from the name of God, which appears in Hebrew, the new scroll fragments are written entirely in Greek. Scholars say the find sheds light on the evolution of biblical texts from their earliest forms.Looters and archaeologists alike have combed the Judean Desert since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls some 70 years ago. Aside from two silver scrolls engraved with the biblical Priestly Blessing (from the late 7th to early 6th century BCE) discovered in Ketef Hinnom in Jerusalem, the Dead Sea Scrolls are considered the earliest known copies of the biblical books and span from circa 400 BCE to 300 CE.

These arguably Freudian themes are heightened in “Dissection-chan”, which finds a bland medical student -- Itō is laudable consistent with the dullness of his protagonists -- confronted with a human cadaver which not only proves to be alive, but turns out to be a woman he'd known since childhood. Ruriko was always obsessed with playing doctor, and loved nothing more than dissecting hapless animals with the coerced aid of our narrating non-hero. Now as an adult, she wants to be dissected herself, to relieve the mysterious and lascivious aches in her belly: “Aaaaah! I get turned on just imagining it!” she grins, laying nude in the narrator's apartment. He does not consent, and it is only years later, when he has become a teacher, that they are reunited: her dead on the slab and him unexpectedly tasked with dissecting his old friend before an eager class. All of them are stunned by what they find as her belly is opened – new animals, mutant forms of the critters she dissected as a child, crammed into her body in place of any logical organs, as if having burst from her womb and devoured everything in sight. Ruriko's corpse smiles. It is accomplished. Hasson says that the discoveries point to the importance of putting resources into continued exploration of the caves.
