Synopsis

A collection of Japanese ghost stories and folklore, each a self-contained tale of the supernatural — a woman's vengeful spirit, a man haunted by a woman's face, a doll that refuses to be forgotten. Originally published in 1904, Kwaidan is the definitive anthology of Japanese ghost stories, and its eerie, atmospheric prose has inspired generations of readers and filmmakers alike.
