THE KWAIDAN COLLECTION

The great painter and multimedia artist Kent Williams is depicting the supernatural Japanese stories of Lafcadio Hearn, originally published in his books Kwaidan and Shadowings. These books are full of ghost stories, nightmares and strange tales -- of possessed forests, of monks tormented by demons and ghosts, of corpse brides, man-eating goblins, and undead samurai. They come to life as never before under Williams' brush. Featuring an introduction by filmmaker Darren Aronofsky, a foreword by writer Kyoko Yoshida, and a biographical afterword by Hearn's great-grandson and director of the Lafcadio Hearn Memorial Museum, Bon Koizumi. 204 pages, 12" x 9".
