Book excerpt: In this new edition of "e;stories and studies of strange things"e; accompanied by illustrations by Lester Banzuelo, Lafcadio Hearn draws from his life in Japan and sketches a delicate, haunting world of snow maidens and faceless ghosts, corpse-eaters and trickster demons, soul mountains and enchanted sleep.
