Japanese legends and scary tales
29.99 €
"Sometimes the soul of the dead clings to the living like a greedy demon."
Mystical Japan is a land steeped in fear and worship of the unknown, where the boundaries between the world of the living and the realm of spirits disappear into the mists of time, where every stone, every tree holds the whispers of ancient gods and eerie legends.
Here, vengeful onryō not only frighten but also cruelly deal with those who dare disturb them. Wrathful kami, Japanese gods, show no mercy. Cunning tanuki and wily werefoxes deceive mortals, and countless yokai lie in wait in the shadows.
Even today, in the flickering lights of modern Tokyo, Osaka, and Yokohama, evil spirits never sleep. On the dark streets of the metropolis, you can encounter something that defies reason.
This collector's edition, imbued with the noir atmosphere of Japanese horror, brings together for the first time in Russian chilling stories, classics of Eastern suspense – from ancient fairy tales and fables to modern urban legends that will leave you shuddering. Under one cover are the best illustrated stories about vengeful ghosts, bloodthirsty demons, gods capable of destruction, werefoxes, killer cats, and other inhabitants of the rich Japanese mythology.
