vengeful spirits and strange sinister happenings Ancient Japan was a country and culture that

cenutry by a unique set of folklorists the ghost stories presented in this new anthology will
transport readers to a time of magic and mystery and let them relish in the spine-tingling
traditions of Japanese culture largely lost now to modernity. For readers of Haruki Murakami
