Japanese Ghost Stories

Lafcadio Hearn's 'Japanese Ghost Stories' collects traditional tales of the supernatural from Japanese folklore. These narratives feature vengeful spirits, animate objects, and mythical creatures such as the headless rokuro-kubi, the flesh-eating jikininki, and the elusive mujina. Hearn reinterprets these stories, blending Japanese tradition with his own literary style, resulting in a collection recognized as classic supernatural literature.
