Sinossi

In "In Ghostly Japan," Lafcadio Hearn embarks on a mesmerizing exploration of the supernatural within the cultural and social fabric of Japan at the turn of the 20th century. The book is a masterful blend of folktales, essays, and personal reflections that illuminate the profound reverence for the spiritual realm in Japanese society. Hearn's lyrical prose is accompanied by vivid imagery and an atmospheric style that draws readers into the eerie landscapes of yōkai and spirits, while also providing anthropological insights into the traditions and beliefs of the Japanese people. Lafcadio Hearn, born to a Greek father and Irish mother, spent much of his life in Japan, where he became absorbed in its culture and spiritual heritage. His unique background as an outsider allowed him to approach Japanese folklore with both intrigue and sensitivity, crafting narratives that bridge Eastern and Western sensibilities. Hearn's deep admiration for Japanese aesthetics, coupled with his quest for understanding the unknown, served as the catalyst for this haunting collection that resonates with his own experience of identity and belonging. This book is a must-read for anyone intrigued by the interplay of culture, spirituality, and the supernatural. Hearn's evocative storytelling not only captivates but also invites readers to contemplate the mysteries that linger beyond the veil of everyday life. "In Ghostly Japan" offers an essential glimpse into the enchanting world of Japanese folklore, making it a compelling read for scholars, enthusiasts, and casual readers alike.

    "It was a suffering like no other. And, oh, how they suffered." 
 
 
 
Recreating the séance that led to the infamous Victorian Suffering massacre seems like a good idea at the time. But Kyle Birbeck soon discovers that the ghosts his distant ancestor banished into the walls of Brackenby House in 1876 have been lurking, waiting for a chance to come out. 
 
 
 
One by one the five terrifying ghosts latch onto each of the students who reside at Brackenby, preying on their deepest fears: A three-eyed Incan giant. A member of the Hellfire Club who struck a deal with the devil to keep his fortune in the afterlife. A thieving factory hand who fell to his death, torturing them with endless footsteps. An oracle with a horde of dead sailors to do her bidding, and a seventeenth century axe-wielding executioner with a murderous hobby. 
 
 
 
It's up to Kyle and his friends to uncover the real secrets of the séance and banish the ghosts for good. But they soon come to realize it isn't Brackenby House that's haunted. They are. And the ghosts will stop at nothing to continue The Suffering . . .
