{"product_id":"japanese-ghost-stories","title":"Japanese Ghost Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe dead wreak revenge on the living, paintings come alive, spectral brides possess mortal men and a priest devours human flesh in these chilling Japanese ghost stories retold by a master of the supernatural. Lafcadio Hearn drew on the phantoms and ghouls of traditional Japanese folklore - including the headless 'rokuro-kubi', the monstrous goblins 'jikininki' or the faceless 'mujina' who stalk lonely neighbourhoods - and infused them with his own memories of his haunted childhood in nineteenth-century Ireland to create these terrifying tales of striking and eerie power. Today they are regarded in Japan as classics in their own right.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdited with an introduction by Paul Murray.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublished: 2019, UK\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: Penguin\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePages: 272\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN: 9780241381274\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lafcadio Hearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58650775454027,"sku":null,"price":13.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/8755\/1819\/files\/9780241381274.jpg?v=1790781104","url":"https:\/\/desirelinesbookstore.com\/products\/japanese-ghost-stories","provider":"desirelines books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
