Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things by Lafcadio Hearn

4.0

Although not every story in this collection merits 4 stars, several of them do. Kwaidan is a nice little collection of Japanese folktales, each one a run-in with the supernatural. Some of them I knew from other places—my studies of yokai, the movie of the same name (inspired by some of the tales in this book), and even a Hellboy comic. Still, it's fun and quick, and although it will never chill you, it may produce a smile.
