{"product_id":"japanese-ghost-stories","title":"Japanese Ghost Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe dead wreak revenge on the living, paintings come alive, spectral brides possess mortal men and a priest devours human flesh in these chilling Japanese ghost stories retold by a master of the supernatural. Lafcadio Hearn drew on the phantoms and ghouls of traditional Japanese folklore - including the headless 'rokuro-kubi', the monstrous goblins 'jikininki' or the faceless 'mujina' who stalk lonely neighbourhoods - and infused them with his own memories of his haunted childhood in nineteenth-century Ireland to create these terrifying tales of striking and eerie power. Today they are regarded in Japan as classics in their own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eEdited with an introduction by Paul Murray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\nPublished: in UK in 2019\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Penguin Books Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 272\u003cbr\u003e\nLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN 13: 9780241381274\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN 10: 0241381274\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lafcadio Hearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32777831415911,"sku":"","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/products\/0241381274_c9c9515f-9da3-43c5-8b6d-d367c823cf4c.jpg?v=1601546604","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/japanese-ghost-stories","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
