In Ghostly Japan (Tuttle Classics of Japanese Literature)by Lafcadio Hearn
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The Japanese have two kinds of ghosts in their folklore--the spirits of the dead, and the spirits of the living. This classic of Japanese literature invites you to take your choice, If you dare. In Ghostly Japan collects twelve ghostly stories from Lafeadio Hearn, deathless images of ghosts and goblins, touches of folklore and superstition, salted with traditions of the nation. While some of these stories contain nightmare imagery worthy of a midnight creature feature, others are not ghostly or ghastly at all. "Bits of Poetry" offers an angaging study on verse, and "Japanese Buddhist Proverbs" explains the meaning of several aphorisms based on Japanese cultural references. 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. Synopsis:In Ghostly Japan collects twelve stories from celebrated author Lafcadio Hearn. Some of these stories are ghostly and ghastly, while others are wonderfully benign. Whether he's telling a ghost story or explaining a Buddhist proverb, Hearn's writings are never less than enthralling.
