Summary

" "Yurei" is the Japanese word for "ghost." They are the souls of the dead unable--or unwilling--to shuffle off this mortal coil. Just as in the West, some yurei haunt a specific place; others tend to roam freely. But the similarities with foreign ghosts end there. The yurei are driven by emotions so uncontrollably powerful that they have taken on a life of their own: rage, sadness, devotion, revenge. Or even the simple belief that they are still alive. This is the third book in the authors' Attack! series. Based on years of research in some of Japan's spookiest places, it contains detailed information on 39 of the most frightening spirits in Japan, along with haunted spots, occult games, an even an illustrated tour of the underworld itself." -- back cover
