"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.
