According to Amazon’s description of the book, “Uncanny” is part professional memoir, part horror comic analysis. “…[Ito] The book “tells it all,” the book reads, “mining the depths of darkness—reflections on childhood influences, musings on comics, next generation creative generation technology, character design, craftsmanship, and more.” It also says the book “Full of never-before-heard insider anecdotes and behind-the-scenes stories.”
Ito has written before about how he creates the intense, gruesome, unsettling, and often bizarre horror stories for which he is famous, but it sounds like the author delves deeper into his own inspirations and feelings in the book.
The hardcover book will be released on October 15th, and you can pre-order it on Amazon for $25.20, down from $28. The pre-order is eligible for Amazon Prime shipping, and like other Amazon pre-orders, it comes with a price guarantee—if the price drops before the book transfers, Amazon will automatically give you the lower price.
