ORIENTAL GHOST STORIESLAFCADIO HEARN Book Number: 56200 Product format: PaperbackLafcadio Hearn’s fascinating and unsettling ghost stories are a reinterpretation of oriental legends and folktales. They are a potent blend of weird beauty and horror. Hearn believed that the spectral world was part of the oriental landscape. Lakes, mountains, ruined castles and terraced fields were the natural locale of ghostly spirits, and their intervention in human affairs was part of the natural order of things. Hearn’s apparitions are already a part of that reality, co-existing with the living. Contains the best of the work of this neglected master of the supernatural tale. 253pp. Paperback.
