The Japanese have two kinds of ghosts in their folklore - the spirits of the dead, and the spirits of the living. In Ghostly Japan is a collection of twelve ghostly stories from Lafcadio Hearn, deathless images of ghosts and goblins, touches of folklore and superstition, salted with traditions of the nation. Whether you're looking to spot the demons that walk among us, or simply to enjoy the prose of a legendary craftsman, In Ghostly Japan affords countless delights.
