His stuff is fairly Lovecraftian. I like it.

The Enigma of Amigara Fault is a good one.

I love Junji Ito but recently I've been getting heavily into Kazuo Umezu who also has some shit on a whole other level.

Unfortunately most of his published English works focus on the young girl gothic tales rather than his truly insane shit like Fourteen.

I recently read Hellstar Remina and absolutely loved it

I read all his books when I was a kid, but I could never find him. :(

you're a rap fan and you can't separate artist from art?

Kazuo Umezu rules. Also, check out Suehiro Maruo if you're into horror.

Hellstar was better than Melancholia

The story of the humans was pretty stupid though.  Hellstar's just good for CRAZY PLANET EATING horror and creepyness factor.

Man, there's some really messed up stuff on that site. I didn't know Hiroaki Samura was into this torture stuff. Puts the messed up stuff in Blade of the Immortal into some perspective...

Is he the one who did that panel with a boy looking out his window and seeing some weird creature crawling across a building on the other side of the street? The final panel in that was something like "Ever since that night, it's come here too." Easily one of the top 10 creepiest things I've seen.

I want to read what ever this is.
