About the Book
Inspired by personal experiences with Japan's vengeful spirits, Davisson investigates the origins and legends of yurei.Book Synopsis
"I lived in a haunted apartment." Davisson opens this definitive work on Japan's ghosts, or yurei, with a personal tale about the spirit world.

Color images of yurei appear throughout the book.About the Author
