"Eerie traditional Japanese ghost stories retold in a graphic novel format.

Eerie traditional Japanese ghost stories retold in a graphic novel format.

Over one

hundred years ago, the writer Lafcadio Hearn gathered and translated

into English a selection of traditional Japanese ghost/mystery stories.

They were published as Kwaidan- Stories and Studies of Strange Things. In

this new graphic novel, acclaimed manga creator Sean Michael Wilson

retells six of these stories. All of them are very well known in Japan,

where ghosts and demons are often called yokai, meaning ""the

mysterious and weird."" Today these stories find expression mostly in

movies and manga, but they remain rooted in the traditional ghost

stories of the Edo era known as kaidan, which means ""recited narrative of strange, mysterious, rare, or bewitching apparitions.""

The book includes an afterword by William Scott Wilson, the esteemed

translator and editor of Japanese texts and samurai philosophy, who puts

the stories into historical context.
