"The ghost stories and strange tales that make up this book are set in the ancient Japanese province of Shinshu, or Shinano (now Nagano Prefecture), located in the center [sic] of Japan's main island of Honshu, a region intersected by three mountain ranges, mist-covered streams and a number of large and fast-flowing rivers."

At about ½ way through, the blurb descriptors of spine-chilling, spooky & terrifying ??

Bookwomble ... don't pertain, at least not for me. There has been one story, to be fair, "The Demons Who Were Stuck in the Eye by Irises," that did have a somewhat shuddersome monster in it, but otherwise this is fairly standard folkloric fare, by which I mean I'm enjoying the stories for what they are, rather than for how advertised!
So far, I like the tengu, kappa and tanuki stories most, and I'm looking forward to reading the rest ?

"There is no lack of drama in my life, I have more than enough three-ring-circus material for writing, but even so, I always approach the seventh of January with trembling."

Tecserion | Marie-Madeleine de Lubert
post image

In a country near the Kingdoms of Romance, there once was a wicked king named Tecserion: no one ever saw him smile; he knew no pleasures but doing evil; in addition he had a figure that Nature seemed to have given him to make him hated all the more; in a word, his ugliness equalled the wickedness of his character.

The marine layer was as thick as cotton and had formed a thousand-foot wall that shrouded the enter to the harbour.

I have jumped about 10 Connollys on my TBR but this is a new series, and a library express loan!
