Some Japanese Ghosts by Lafcadio Hearn
90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books
'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.

The Life and Letters of Lafcadio Hearn; Volume 2
After a peculiarly gothic childhood in Ireland and tumultuous two decades in the United States, Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) travelled to Japan as a journalist and never returned. There he married into a samurai family, lectured at universities throughout the country, and wrote widely about Japanese society and culture.
