Hearn’s 1902 miscellany opens with nine strange tales drawn from old Japanese books — a haunted waterfall, a face seen in a cup of tea, spirits of the living and the dead — and moves on to sketches and essays on a poor woman’s diary, the Heike crab, fireflies, and Buddhist thought on a single drop of dew.
Eerie, delicate pieces that will appeal to anyone who enjoyed Kwaidan. Download the free EPUB.
