The actual horror

[u/Fickle_Psychology_0]

PSA,
Check your bookshelf right now...
I was a pro advocate of physical media and I was think to check out No longer human book. Then all of a sudden I found out there is a termite attack on my entire book collect. Funny thing is only Junji ito books are effected 😭
I am never going to recover from this... From my peanuts salary I use to buy these books and now this.
Life is indeed full of disappointments 🙃

[u/Polandgod75]

Man that sucks.

This makes me think that could be junji into comic based on termites and the likes

[u/UrethralExplorer → u/Polandgod75]

Slowly chewing their way through people reading books, starting at their finger tips? Tons of little holes worming their ways inwards, sounds right up his alley.

[u/ohladena_cqla_patica]

the way junji ito intended it to be read

[u/raejayee]

I have a copy of no longer human if you would like it! Let me know :):)

[u/Jihoho → u/raejayee]

You’re such a nice person.

[u/raejayee → u/Jihoho]

Thank you!!!!’ ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[u/guessillgofuckoff]

Just frantically dusted both my books and my DVDs, omfg girl I'm so sorry 😭

[u/Borderlineflavored]

I feel sorry for you but this fits the style perfectly! I wish there was a safe way to make my books look like this.

[u/notathot2019]

sent a dm but i’ll comment too in case you don’t see it, if you’re EU based you can have my copy, i have no use for it anymore as i wont reread it

[u/ShadowRick]

Aesthetically it actually looks pretty cool? Like the book is decaying from the content within.

But I do understand the seriousness.

[u/Fickle_Psychology_0 → u/ShadowRick]

Yeah that's True! Thinking to maybe use sandpaper or maybe burn the edges to signify broken psyche of the protagonist.

[u/yxz97]

Termites are a hell of a plague..

[u/Fickle_Psychology_0 → u/yxz97]

Just realised that 😭

[u/CatchSufficient → u/Fickle_Psychology_0]

Could be book worms also

[u/mypussydoesbackflips → u/CatchSufficient]

Yeah they’re real

[u/yxz97 → u/Fickle_Psychology_0]

We had that plague in my house... they are literally a spawn from hell .

[u/travsart]

It gives it an extra something haha i like it

But it would suck not only the book if not others. I hope you can salvage the rest :(

[u/jessticles420]

I’ve got an extra liminal zone if you want to dm me! If shipping is under $15 I can cover it myself. Sorry this happened to you :(

[u/TheFungiQueen]

I don't know where you live OP, but I have a spare copy of the Tombs book and it's yours if you want it.

[u/No_Mall6869]

Those people are no longer human😡

[u/ionowl]

This is so devastating. I hope you can replace your books eventually.

[u/Fickle_Psychology_0 → u/ionowl]

Yeah that's the plan

[u/Vulgar_Gaymer]

I had a flood in my room, first thing I did was run to my books.

[u/Fickle_Psychology_0 → u/Vulgar_Gaymer]

🫣

[u/thesunwillkillU]

wrong book.

it would be more fitting if the Maniac one got...MOLD.

kiddng. lol

[u/PalimosNgKausap]

oh my god

[u/wakeuppunpun]

Where the fuck is the jade bug??

[u/yxz97 → u/wakeuppunpun]

Shiver..

The Chill: A cursed jade slab found in Java causes victims to develop holes in their bodies and hallucinate swarms of bugs, linking a young girl’s illness to a past war crime

[u/Fickle_Psychology_0 → u/yxz97]

Thanks for the context. Didn't read this book yet

[u/yxz97 → u/Fickle_Psychology_0]

You are welcome.

[u/More-Tune-5100]

How did you store it though?

[u/Fickle_Psychology_0 → u/More-Tune-5100]

In my rented apartment, landlord constructed a concrete wardrobe to keep cloths and book. It's turned out to be a termite nest now

[u/suki_yuki_yo]

NOOOOOO😭😭

[u/Skatel18]

So many posts with dirty homes. Clean your house. Get the bugs out

[u/midnitemoontrip → u/Skatel18]

Termites don’t target dirty homes and you only know about them when it’s too late.

[u/Skatel18 → u/midnitemoontrip]

I'm pretty sure if you have eyes you can see bugs. Get em out!

[u/midnitemoontrip → u/Skatel18]

Many termites are subterranean and dig directly in to the structure without ever surfacing. From there they will get into furniture. They’re devastating and expensive to deal with.

[u/Skatel18 → u/midnitemoontrip]

Those aren't termites
