People-shaped holes appear in the face of the mountain and people are psychologically drawn toward specific holes that match their own silhouette. The victims are unable to retreat once they’re in a hole, and progressing forward disfigures them.
The artist’s name is Junji Ito, so that you have an accurate search term and can find more of his works.
In real life, he’s a delightful and bright guy, but on the page, he gets pretty fucked up real quick. Good luck.
(I think most of my problem with Junji Ito is that he comes up with an incredibly graphic shock panel and then crafts the story around one or two violent bits of art, rather than making the art in service to the story. His pattern can get a bit repetitive.)
For those who haven’t read it:
The Enigma of Amigara Fault
I don’t get it. Random holes show up and turn people into monsters?
You do get it. Also, there’s not monsters, just, uh, extruded humans coming out the other side.
More or less.

Well, that’s horrifying. I like it
Then you will be happy to learn that the author Shunji Ito has a lot more disturbing stories.

Thanks for the correction! The name felt odd, but I got distracted and couldn’t verify it.
Do he also do the town being taken over by spirals? This looks like that type of body horror
Yes! That’s also him.
Cool. I’ll definitely look him up. Thank you
