Featuring short stories "Shadow Wife," the tale of the vengeful
swordsman prodigy Hisama Sakakibara, and "The Crawler," the story
of stubborn treasury official Genbei Chitsugi, this masterpiece
collection of historical ghost stories depicts the pathos of
lower-class samurai who live for and are held captive by the
sword.
In a fleeting last breath, a beautiful woman on her deathbed hands
a strange gemstone to D and asks that he deliver it to her sister
in a remote North Sea fishing village. As D cuts across
never-ending expanses of Frontier in search of his seaside
destination, he is relentlessly attacked by wave after wave of
mercenary and monster...all employed by the man who murdered the
young girl. In order to grant a dying wish, D must find a way to
keep this priceless jewel out of everyone's covetous reach, and all
without sacrificing his own life!
"In a world where even the smallest and most remote village is
being terrorized by the monsters that stalk the night, there is a
hamlet, prosperous and peaceful, where mortals and vampires have
lived in peace for years. It is there that sleeping beauty, Sheavil
Schmidt, has slept, neither waking nor aging, for thirty years
since first receiving the vampire's immortal kiss. The mysterious
Vampire Hunter D is lured to the tranquil oasis by recurrent dreams
of the beautiful, undying girl bathed in an eerie blue light and
dancing in a ghostly chateau."--Amazon.com.
