A haunting gathering of classic Japanese tales of monsters and demons, yokai and oni and yurei, that live on in popular manga, anime, J-horror films, and video games
A Penguin Classic
Flesh-eating oni demons, kappa water sprites, shapeshifting kitsune foxes, vengeful yurei ghosts, and other monsters and magical creatures have long lurked in the shadows of Japanese culture, appearing as divine beings in eighth-century myths, dangerous demons in medieval literature, troublesome tricksters in local legends, and sinister predators in modern fiction. With dozens of stories, including twenty-four that have never been published in English, this volume showcases an incomparable range of the supernatural-from the beautiful ghost that seduces a widowed samurai, to the jorogumo spiders that transform into women to ensnare their human prey, to the sentient reflection that unnerves a night watchman in Haruki Murakami's "The Mirror"-inviting you into a realm of frightening otherness from a rich, thousand-year tradition.
