Spirits surround us in the latest Illuminated Edition: a tome of
all the Japanese ghost stories and strange tales collected and
translated by author Lafcadio Hearn and depicted by the majestic
brushwork of artist Kent Williams. Brimming with over sixty
illustrations, and featuring essays from Academy Award-winning
filmmaker Darren Aronofsky, scholar Kyoko Yoshida and Hearn's
great-grandson and director of the Lafcadio Hearn Museum Bon
Koizumi, this oversized slipcase volume enraptures the imagination
as it chills the blood. Drawn from Hearn's two most celebrated
books, KWAIDAN and SHADOWINGS, this new title constitutes a
complete compendium of the otherworldly and macabre folk tales that
Hearn collected and translated during his travels through Japan in
the late 19th century. Kent Williams is an accomplished and
multiple award-wining painter, comics artist, and draftsman, known
for his richly textured and expressionist paintings. His
illustrations sweep worlds of spirits across the page in an
unsettling vibrant tumble. Corpse brides; flesh-eating jikininki
goblins; the faceless mujina who haunt forgotten places; the
rokuro-kubi, who remove their heads at night: all brought to life
as never before under Williams' visionary brush. A stunning and
startling new entry in Beehive Books celebrated, award-winning
Illuminated Editions series. The edition is housed in a shimmering
die-cut sculpturally embossed slipcase, printed on uncoated
acid-free paper, and published in an oversized 9x12" trim format.
