Adult Swim to adapt Uzumaki from Japanese artist and author Junji Ito

The A.V. Club

'Blatantly Lovecraftian in its inspirations, the novel centers on a town that falls under the effects of a cursed obsession with spirals—in the sky, in the world around them, and, increasingly, as things go hideously off the rails—within their own flesh," says William Hughes. "There’s no villain, no giant monster destroying people; just an inescapable madness that creeps into the minds and bodies of everyone it touches, twisting and destroying them as it goes. So, hey, good news: Now you, too, will be able to experience Uzumaki’s encroaching insanity—in animated form!"
