These classic Japanese ghost stories are based on those written by famed author Lafcadio Hearn between 1890 and 1904. Here, they are retold by award-winning comic book writer Sean Michael Wilson, who has garnered a worldwide fan base for his manga adaptations of works of Japanese literature. Manga Yokai Stories includes: Nuke-kubi: A masterless samurai is trapped in a house haunted by headless goblins. The Screen Maiden: A young man develops an obsession with a woman in a painting that almost kills him. Corpse Rider: A woman's unburied corpse cannot rest until she has taken her revenge on the man who divorced her.
