## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A better collection of Kwaidan
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2019*

Lot of Hearn's scattered Japanese Ghost Stories have been collected from several of his books, and were put together in one book. This is a good way for readers to get acquainted with his stories without having to hunt for more of his books. Thus appreciate the telling of these tales with "delicious chill" as Algernon Blackwood called it. (Blackwood was a fan of Hearn). These are comparable to the works of Pu Songling, which you also should read. Strongly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent book of Japanese ghost stories
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2020*

Excellent collection of Japanese ghost stories by Lafcadio Hearn. Hearn is an outstanding writer, and his melancholy ghost tales are far more vivid and powerfully crafted than the average ghost story. He also shares interesting insights about Japanese life and culture in his era (late 1800s).I did find the cover art on this book unnecessarily icky, but I covered it with origami paper. Don't judge this book by its cover--the cover art is only marginally related to the stories inside, and the book doesn't have the creepy sexual overtones represented in the cover art.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Beautiful!
  

*by K***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2019*

This is a great collection of Japanese ghost stories.  It is really engrossing and well put together. The annotations are very useful and make these stories accessible for those of us not well-versed in Japanese culture.  Penguin classics tend to be thoughtfully curated and presented and this book is no different.
