A wonderful collection of spine-tingling ghost stories and thought-provoking essays on insects. This new version has an introduction "Hearn and Japan", which details the continuing influence of Hearn on contemporary Japan.

This book is a recreation of the public domain book by Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904), titled "Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things".

This book contains 18 short stories and three essays on insects.
