“As with his Meiji era predecessor, Lafcadio Hearn, we should be thankful for Éric Faure’s hard work and passion in bringing us these supernatural tales. Some of them are oral folk culture written down for the first time, giving us a peek into a ghostly Japan that most of us have never seen before. Highly recommended for fans of ghost stories and Japanese history and culture.” —Sean Michael Wilson, author of Musashi: A Graphic Novel
