Manga Yokai Stories: Ghostly Tales from Japan
Manga Yokai Stories: Ghostly Tales from Japan
Adapted by Sean Michael Wilson, illustrated by Inko Ai Takita
Coming in September 2020, Tuttle Publishing
This is my second big collection of manga versions of the Japanese tales collected together by the Irish-Greek writer Lafacadio Hearn around 120 years ago. He lived in the same city I am now in (and, in fact, used to walk on the same road I live on). The other of our Hearn related books can be seen HERE.
"This spine-tingling collection of seven Japanese ghost stories will thrill lovers of yokai stories!
Manga Yokai Stories includes:
These classic Japanese ghost stories are based on those written by famed author Lafcadio Hearn between 1890 and 1904. Here, they are retold by award-winning comic book writer Sean Michael Wilson...Wilson's skillful adaptation of Hearn's ghostly tales—along with superb manga illustrations from UK-based Japanese artist Inko Ai Takita—make these chilling stories come to life."
