Interesting, nothing wrong just nothing grabbing. I think it's a good filler for Juni Ito fans without being massively graphic.

This was probably the most relaxing horror anthology I've ever read, lol. It wasn't quite what I expected but I did enjoy it.

The stories were just too short to have any depth of creepiness. Just not enough macabre/spooky for me.

Love the cover, enjoyed the illustrations and felt like this was a good adaptation of the Japanese tales, I haven't read Hearn's works/translations yet but hope to find copies someday. I have however seen Kwaidan, and other classic Japanese ghost tale which I love and became a more recent interest. I went ahead with reading this to add more eerie fun for before Halloween season ends. While the majority of stories were familiar to me a couple weren't and I found those just as interesting. All in all a solid collection and quick read of the macabre. Also give this more of a 3.5.

Great for fans of Japanese culture. I think I was hoping for more scary stories but these are really more eerie stories? But well done and great for someone who enjoys comics and folklore.
