Fuan no Tane by Nakayama Masaaki
Fuan no Tane is a collection of very short horror stories. Nakayama uses lots of urban legends to base his stories on and channels them into short bursts of terror. His art is ultra-precise and his monsters are really disquieting. Altogether, something I knew you guys would be interested in.
Tsama translated this and was kind enough to let me host it on my site. I had nothing to do with the translation (although I wish I did!). Tsama’s email is in the files, so please thank him for letting us have a glimpse of this awesome artist.

Top quality. Just had a quick look at the first chapter in vol. 1. Looks ace. Any idea where I could get more information on Nakayama-san?

Just thought I’d point out, looks like the TRANSLATOR’S NOTES text files for volumes 1 and 2 accidentally got replaced by the one for volume 3.
