Summary

"A young mother who dies in childbirth terrifies her family when she returns as a ghost. A valiant samurai is forced to do battle with nuke-kubi headless yokai. A student is bewitched by the image of a hauntingly beautiful woman painted on a screen door. The unburied corpse of a vengeful ex-wife still throbs with desire for revenge on the man who divorced her. These are just some of the manga adaptations of seven ghost stories based on the works of Lafcadio Hearn, to be found in this collection. The tales on these pages range from the subtly mysterious to the spine chilling and are sure to thrill all fans of Japanese yokai!"--Back cover
