Some of the books are compilations of one-off stories, some are episodic but feature different characters encountering the same being (such as Tomie and Lovesickness), and others follow the same protagonists caught up in an unfolding scenario (such as Uzumaki, Gyo, Hellstar Remina, and Sensor).And then there's Cat Diary, which is just the guy parodying his own work by drawing comics about stuff his cats do and trying to render it as creepy as possible.I think it helps that, unlike Lovecraft, Ito is actually a happy and well-adjusted guy who doesn't take himself too seriously and will sometimes inject elements into his stories that are more absurd than horrific.</blockquote>
