Status Updates From Oriental Ghost Stories

I can’t remember the last time I read something with *so many* footnotes, but the last story I read (A Passional Karma) would probably make a really cool film

Finished the Kwaidan part and really liked it. The last couple of stories were really interesting in that they seemed to directly compare Japanese oral folk stories with British ones, and the description of Horai had a lot in common with Avalon and Tir Na Nog and even Valhalla and Olympus

These stories are really cute, they’re so easy to read. To say someone gave this to me after finding it in a charity shop for pittance, I’ve done very alright out of it.

Important to note these are GHOST stories, not necessarily HORROR stories, but some of them are very pithy and really clever, even by the standards of today
