People don’t always live happily ever after, and evil is sometimes left to wreak more havoc upon the unsuspecting. These aren’t the sort of scary stories that wrap up nicely. ![]() Junji Ito is the only person who can instill an unnatural fear of small holes and cooking oil within a person. All vary in theme and tone, but all are frightening. Shiver is a hardcover manga filled with almost four hundred pages worth of short horror stories by Junji Ito. Releasing tomorrow, December 19, 2017, Shiver: Junji Ito Selected Stories is certainly no exception to the rule.

It consists of a preface and three interrelated treatises ('Abhandlungen' in German) that expand and follow through on concepts Nietzsche sketched out in Beyond Good and Evil (1886).

Salvan, Jacques L., The Scandalous Ghost: Sartre’s Existentialism as related to Vitalism, Humanism, Mysticism and Marxism, (Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 1967). Moreover, Salvan’s study does not place the emphasis which the present interrogation does on the point of view which is at stake in external negation and the role of internal negation which is the implicit and sadly neglected feature underlying both Sartre’s critique of Hegel and of Bergson. It is worth noting that Jacques Salvan also analyzes Sartre’s relation to both Hegel and Bergson on this problem, though our examinations diverge in the ultimate directions of our respective investigations. ![]() ![]() ![]() Star Alexandra Chando honed her skills on CBS’ As the World Turns playing Maddie for several years.
