    A haunting collection of Japanese folktales, translated and interpreted by the acclaimed Irish-Greek author and Japanophile. In 1904, Lafcadio Hearn introduced Western readers to the world of Japanese folklore with his collection of ghost stories, Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things. His hauntingly lyrical and complex translations, in which he often put his own twist on the traditional tale, are now regarded as preeminent classics in Japan.  This volume presents seventeen of Hearn’s unforgettable stories. A blind performer plays for an audience of ghosts. A maiden reincarnates to search for her beloved. A nurse offers the ultimate sacrifice for her young charge. And a group of rokurokubi plot to end the life of a noble samurai. Whether you’re in the mood for phantoms, demons, ghouls, or ghosts, these otherworldly tales will haunt you long after you’ve finished reading.

    The Cats of Ulthar by H. P. Lovecraft is a darkly enchanting tale set in a mythical land where superstition and cosmic justice intertwine. First published in 1920, the story recounts the curious events in the town of Ulthar, where it is said that no man may kill a cat. 
    Through the eyes of a wandering traveler, we learn of the cruelty of an old couple who take pleasure in destroying cats, and of the strange vengeance that follows when a caravan of mysterious strangers arrives. The tale unfolds with Lovecraft’s unique blend of folklore and unease, weaving a fable that is at once cautionary and uncanny. 
    This recording, narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, conveys both the mythic cadence and the chilling undercurrent of Lovecraft’s prose. While the text itself is in the public domain, this performance is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne.
