"Beneath the placid Kyoto cityscape lies a dark world of supernatural phenomena. When Kyotoites are terrorized by ghosts, spirits, demons or monsters, they seek the counsel and protection of Daiun Miki-- a real-life Zen Buddhist priest at Renkyukji Temple. Known throughout Japan as the 'Ghost Story Priest,' Miki recounts here the actual stories told to him by the desperate people he counsels and protects. The eleven horryfying stories in this book include tales of unnatural hauntings, magic, mayhem and murder that are difficult to explain. Faithfully adapted to graphic novel form by Tatsuya Morino, Tales of a Kyoto ghost story priest takes a fascinating look at the ghostly underworld of Kyoto from the perspective of a real Buddist priest."--Back cover.
