Manga Yokai Stories
Those with an appreciation of Japanese culture will know that yÅkai are a class of supernatural entities and spirits in Japanese folklore. This book is a thrilling collection of seven Japanese ghost stories that will captivate those who like a chilling tale. The classic ghost stories are based on those written by famed Irish-Greek author Lafcadio Hearn. Hearn moved to Japan in 1890 and lived there until his death in 1904. During that time, he collected old Japanese tales with the help of his Japanese wife, Setsu.

In this book, Hearnās stories are retold by award-winning comic book writer Sean Michael Wilson, who has gained a worldwide fan base for his manga adaptations of famous works of Japanese literature, including such classics as The Book of Five Rings and The Demon's Sermon on the Martial Arts. The stories are fully brought to life through the beautiful illustrations by UK-based Japanese artist Inko Ai Takita.
Ā
The seven stories told in this book are A Dead Secret, The Screen Maiden, Nuke-Kubi, Corpse Rider, Riki-Baka, Before the Supreme Court, and Reconciliation. The stories include a tale of a samurai trapped in houses haunted by headless goblins, a deadly obsession with a painting, corpses seeking revenge, and ghosts unable to find peace returning to haunt families.
