In Ghostly Japan

"In Ghostly Japan" is a collection of 13 stories collected by Lafcadio Hearn that contains Japanese ghost stories, but also several non-fiction pieces. Hearn tries to give a glimpse into the customs of the Japanese, by giving examples of Buddhist Proverbs and explaining the use of incense and the nation wide fascination with poetry.
A perfect collection of deathless images of ghosts and goblins, touches of folklore and superstition, salted with traditions of the nation.

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.
