Review Detail

If you have an interest in ghost stories or Japanese culture, this is a must-have book. Every ghost story is told in a casual, sit-by-the-campfire style, but is meticulously researched. We get not only the original ghost story, but also a comprehensive detailing of any strange and unexplained phenomenon associated with that particular story over the years (sometimes over the centuries!). Accompanied by quite graphic artistic interpretations of the various ghosts, little side notes from the authors, and crammed with every detail possible surrounding each story, this is a fabulous book for those who want to understand Japanese ghost culture, or who just love a comprehensive volume about ghosts.
