Some Japanese Ghosts

<''The body was cold as ice; the heart had long ceased to beat: yet there were no other signs of death.''

The phantoms and ghouls of Japanese folklore are in this book driven back into the world of the living. Mysterious brides melt into mist, paintings come alive, and man-eating goblins barter for redemption. Traditional Japanese folktales and legends, infused with memories of Lafcadio Hearn''s own haunted childhood, are here masterfully retold.<>
