Yurei Attack!: The Japanese Ghost Survival Guide by Hiroko Yoda, Matt Alt
3.0
Yes, welcome, tonight on the 'It is 6 am and I have just spent a whole night binge-reading a book on Japanese ghosts because I have no impulse control and love ghost stories too much': Yurei Attack!
My profile: A love so strong it rivals 3 whole suns for the supernatural. Currently living in Japan. Majoring in Japanese studies.
The enemy: This book.
Good things: Loved the illustrations. And funny anecdotes. The rituals chapter was A+. The design of the whole book was outstanding. Sources were actually given.
Bad things: Useless facts 101. There were no actual ghosts in there you could be attacked by today so it was not a guide at all. 'For more info, check Yokai Attack!' if I really liked your book I'd read it anyway without you telling me to every 2 pages. Several typos.
This book was made for my supernatural loving self. Not the Japanese studies one.
