Excerpt from In Ghostly Japan
Do not fear, my son, said the Bodhisattva, guiding: danger there is none, though the way be grim.
Under the stars they climbed, fast, fast, mounting by help Of power superhuman. High zones of mist they passed; and they saw below them, ever widening as they climbed, a soundless flood Of cloud, like the tide of a milky sea.

Book Description:
The Japanese have two kinds of ghosts in their folklore—the spirits of the dead, and the spirits of the living. This classic of Japanese literature invites you to take your choice, if you dare.
in Ghostly Japan collects twelve ghostly stories from Lafcadio Hearn, deathless images of ghosts and goblins, touches of folklore and superstition, salted with traditions of the nation. While some of these stories contain nightmare imagery worthy of a midnight creature feature, others are not ghostly or ghastly at all. "bits of Poetry" offers an engaging study on verse, and "Japanese buddhist Proverbs" explains the meaning of several aphorisms based on Japanese cultural references.
Whether you're looking to spot the demons that walk among us, or simply to enjoy the prose of a legendary craftsman, in Ghostly Japan affords countless delights. Stories include:

In 1890 he came to Japan and taught English in Japanese schools, and became a Japanese citizen under the name of Koizumi Yakuma. He died in Tokyo.
