Japanese Legends and Scary Tales. Collectible Illustrated Edition

"Sometimes the soul of the deceased 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 in the mists of centuries, where every stone, every tree holds the whisper of ancient gods and eerie legends.
Here, vengeful onryō not only frighten but also brutally deal with those who dared to disturb them. The angry kami, Japanese gods, show no mercy. Cunning tanuki and deceitful fox-spirit shape-shifters lead mortals astray, while countless yōkai lurk in the shadows.
Even today, in the flickering lights of modern Tokyo, Osaka, and Yokohama, evil spirits do not slumber. On the dark streets of the metropolis, one might encounter something that challenges reason.
In this collectible illustrated edition, filled with the noir atmosphere of Japanese horror, bone-chilling stories are gathered for the first time in Russian, classic Eastern suspense – from ancient tales and legends to modern urban myths that will make you shudder. Under one cover – the best illustrated tales of vengeful ghosts, bloodthirsty demons, gods capable of destruction, shape-shifting foxes, killer cats, and other inhabitants of the richest Japanese mythology.
