DESCRIPTION

An Illustrated Guide to Monsters, Myths & Terrifying Mysteries
Unsolved Japanese mysteries, ghostly tales, and bizarre events all brought to life in full color!

From haunted schools and forgotten shrines to eerie train stations and vengeful spirits, Japanese Urban Legends lifts the lid on the spooky stories that have haunted Japan for generations. These 124 tales are filled with goosebump-inducing details and vivid full-color illustrations on every page, plus a danger rating guide to help you gauge each spirit's fright factor!

These terrifying and spooky supernatural stories include:

  • The Slit-Mouthed Woman, a disfigured and deceased onryo, or vengeful spirit who stalks men in the woods at night
  • Hanako of the Toilet, the creepy girl who hangs out in the stalls—and drags you in with her!
  • The 8-foot-tall woman, who smiles and laughs as she lures in children to chew on
  • Kisaragi Station, all aboard the ghost train leaving from a station not found on any map
  • Kune Kune, the squiggle figure who wiggles and waves: Don't look or you'll be driven insane!
  • And 119 other tales of mayhem and magical happenings!

Organized into three creepy sections exploring urban legend sites, haunted homes, and spooky schools, this book takes readers deep into Japan's supernatural underworld.

Perfect for thrill-seekers, mythology fans, and horror-loving readers ages 9 and up, this lightning-edged special edition makes a hauntingly fun gift and a window into Japan's most mysterious myths and monsters!
