4.0

This book isn't necessarily an easy read but it's a great book to read if you're into ghost stories and are learning about Japanese culture, and even some historical events that resulted in folk tales. These stories are full of sadness, loss, betrayal, and even disappointment. In particular there are lots of stories about ghost brides.
