SILENT INVASION
They arrive in silence and darkness. They descend from the skies. They have a hunger for human flesh. They are everywhere. They are parasites, alien creatures who must invade-and take control of-a human host to survive. And once they have infected their victims, they can assume any deadly form they choose- monsters with giant teeth, winged demons, creatures with blades for hands. But most have chosen to conceal their lethal purpose behind ordinary human faces. So no one knows their secret-except an ordinary high school student. Shin is battling for control of his own body against an alien parasite, but can he find a way to warn humanity of the horrors to come?
Parasyte
A dark and impressive take on super-powers and vigilante heroism, Parasyte is the tale of Shin, a high school student who finds himself dragged into a new war about who sits at the top of the food chain. Something is eating people, horrifically and without remorse. Corpses are turning up everywhere, and the authorities have no idea who is responsible. Shin knows what is to blame, because the enemy is close to home. Inside him to be exact. Containing occasional humour, metamorphosis and horror in spades, this is a great series, showcasing Japanese horror manga at its best. Reviewed by 19aw
