Your complete guide to the afterlife... Japan-style!
Surviving encounters with angry ghosts and sexy spectres. Haunted places. Dangerous games and how to play them. And, most importantly, a guided tour of what awaits in the world of the dead.
Yurei is the Japanese word for "ghost." They are the souls of dead people, unable—or unwilling—to shuffle off this mortal coil. Just as in the West, some yurei haunt a specific place; others tend to roam freely. But the similarities with foreign ghosts end there.
The yurei are driven by emotions so uncontrollably powerful that they have taken on a life of their own: Rage. Sadness. Devotion. Revenge. Or even the simple belief that they are still alive.
Yurei Attack! is the third book in the authors' best-selling Attack! series. Based on years of research in some of Japan's spookiest places, it contains detailed information on 39 of the most frightening spirits in Japan, along with haunted spots, occult games, and even an illustrated tour of the underworld itself. Together with Yokai Attack! and Ninja Attack!, Yurei Attack! is the last guidebook to Japan you'll ever need.
