Lafcadio Hearn (1850--1904) was a confirmed admirer of Asian sensibilities and practices. His taste for the eerie and bizarre materializes in his supernaturally focused works, including: "In Ghostly Japan" (1899), "Shadowings" (1900) and "Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things" (1904).

Foreword by Victoria B. Cass noted author and professor emeritus at the University of Colorado, Boulder. She is the author of "Dangerous Women: Warriors, Grannies and Geishas of the Ming" and "In the Realm of the Gods: Lands, Myths, and Legends of China.
