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\u003cp\u003eEdited with an introduction by Paul Murray\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HUNTS BOOKSHOP LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42802095751408,"sku":"9780241381274","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0514\/8635\/9739\/files\/9780241381274.jpg?v=1713463626","url":"https:\/\/huntsbookshop.pro\/products\/9780241381274","provider":"Hunt's Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
