For a fan of spooky stuff and Japan, this book is perfect!
I'm a huge fan of folklore, ghost stories, and Japan as a whole. I've always admired the culture and traditions, and the terrifying stories of creatures and yokai have always caught my attention. Up until I got this book, I hadn't really done any research on yurei, but this was definitely an awesome introduction! The visuals are pretty great, the stories themselves, and the extra information about haunted places and the like are so cool!

Do you have an interest in supernatural Japan? Is your dvd copy of Ju-On wearing thin from being watched so often? Do you wonder what's lurking in the shadows or waiting for you to buy that cursed house? Well, then this is the book for you! Compact and colorful, this book offers so interesting reading as well as visuals. It's well worth picking up if you have even the slightest curiosity about Yurei.

Folklore meets manga
The illustrations remind me of some Manga I've read. I don't know a whole lot about Japanese history. So I can't vouch for how accurate the facts are. It's cute but I don't know if I'd use it for research.

Really Great!
すごいですよ! I am now in my third college semester of taking Japanese language, GO TRIBE!, and wanted to learn some more about the culture, myths, and legends of Japan. This is a great book for just that! It is the size of a handbook and it full of interesting facts and legends. I have already ordered the others in the series. Did I mention awesome pictures too?!
