Lafcadio Hearn drew on the phantoms and ghouls of traditional Japanese folklore - including the headless 'rokuro-kubi', the monstrous goblins 'jikininki' or the faceless 'mujina' who stalk lonely neighbourhoods - and infused them with his own memories of his haunted childhood in nineteenth-century Ireland to create these terrifying tales of striking and eerie power. Today they are regarded in Japan as classics in their own right.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 198mmItem Length: 129mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 191gAuthor: Lafcadio Hearn, Paul MurrayContributor: Paul Murray (Edited by)Genre: FictionTopic: Horror, FantasyBook Series: Japanese ClassicsType: Fairy TalesRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
