DANGER: open with caution. Between the covers of this book dwell the scariest spooks ever to stalk the islands of Japan: the yurei. They're ghosts, and they're very, very angry. But don't worry. Yurei Attack! has all the essentials for learning how to deal with them. This all-new sequel to the hit Yokai Attack! shifts the spotlight from monsters to ghosts. Yokai are scary. Yurei are downright terrifying. Frightening femme fatales out to make the world pay for their suffering. Sensual specters who mix pleasure with pain. Ferocious phantoms that will stop at nothing to see the rulers of Japan toppled from their thrones. Haunted castles, rivers, tunnels, even skyscrapers. The authors profile more than forty famous ghosts, scary spots, supernatural games, and people who had close encounters with the hereafter -- none of it made up, all of it taken directly from Japanese history and folklore. Shiver through spine-tingling descriptions of the stories behind Japan's most gruesome ghosts, and how to find the spots they're still believed to haunt today. Perfect for fans of ghost stories and "ghost hunters" alike, it is a treasure trove of information about Japanese ghosts, the underworld, and haunted spots throughout the country. Each story is accompanied by full-color manga-style illustrations to show in graphic detail exactly what there is to be afraid of.
