"The Zombie Shop opens the eyes of the dead,
lets them speak their final truths, and,
most importantly, gets paid!"
Reiko Himezono is not your average teenage girl. Behind her beautiful, heavily-lashed eyes exists a talent so powerful that she is able to charge people large sums of money just to behold it. You see, Reiko has a direct line to Satan himself, who assists her in her mission to "zombify" the dead in order to settle unfinished business in the land of the living. Reiko Himezono... the Zombie Shop!
In most of the cases Reiko is involved with, the zombies-to-be have recently died under suspicious circumstances. Mysterious suicides, decaying rock stars, abused children -- she's seen it all, and when the bloodthirsty zombies she awakens come to un-life, she handles the corpse-raising situations that ensue with an irresistible sense of pure, unaffected cool. Each of Reiko's diabolical adventures ominously lead to her final, bloody battle against Saki Yurikawa, the butchering Big Sister.
Once I began reading this speedily-paced collection of diabolical tales (published by
Dark Horse Manga), I couldn't put the book down! Panel after panel of
Rei Mikamoto's stunning artwork is as gory as it is gorgeous. Thanks to the astoundingly generous
Karswell of
The Horrors of it All, I was able to enjoy, scan, and now present here at
Killer Kittens From Beyond The Grave a sampling of this work which is so dazzling and disgusting, sickening and seductive...
