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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdited with an introduction by Paul Murray\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31802684047457,"sku":"9780241381274","price":8.51,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_32288636.jpg?v=1737126051","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780241381274-japanese-ghost-stories","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
