A review by kingjason
Tales of Moonlight and Rain by Anthony H. Chambers, Ueda Akinari
3.0
An interesting collection of old Japanese ghost/spirit stories. Each one has a lesson for you to learn, for example do not eat those that you love once they have died or you'll turn into a demon.
The stories are quite mixed, they were pretty gruesome at times, I'm sure when this was written they would have been terrifying but in this day an age they are tame.
The version I read had tonnes and tonnes of extra info about the characters, the setting, the plot and theories on what the story was about, I ended up skipping the last few as it was just too much and took away any of your own thoughts you have about each story, I'd recommend reading the story before the extra info.
Just realised this is the 1000th book I've read according to Goodreads. woooooo
