THE OUTER ZONE

A manga about a mysterious woman named Misery who guides you through tales of strange occurrences ranging from the occult to science fiction.

This is essentially Tales from the Crypt or The Twilight Zone turned into a manga. Each chapter is usually a standalone story about someone’s interaction with a cursed object that becomes a morality play. Sometimes the people survive and sometimes they brutally die. I remember reading this as a child and having nightmares from Shin Mitsuhara‘s creepy monster designs. Looking back know it’s really tame by today’s standards.
