Zack Davisson’s book about Japanese ghosts, or yurei is an interesting discussion of traditional Japanese belief systems and the history of the kaidan (ghost stories, or weird tales). Includes a great selection of representative kaidan as well, some previously untranslated, I think.

I have the hardcover first edition, and it’s gorgeous.
