Ever felt eyes watching you while you were alone? You might be haunted by Sukima-onna, but don’t worry, she’ll make sure you’ll never be alone again… What was the terrifying meaning behind thousands of strings seemingly tied at random around a small, sleepy town? How can you stop the prophecy of the terrifying Kudan, the cow with a human face and predicts certain doom? Exploring Japanese Urban Legends Vol. 2 is back with over 70 brand new urban legends straight out of Japan, all painstakingly researched and—for many—translated into English for the first time. From supernatural creatures to medical mishaps, horrific crimes to chilling secrets of the entertainment industry, nobody does horror quite like Japan. Click the BUY NOW button to discover the hidden secrets behind these legends. After all, the truth is often stranger than fiction.

Tara A. Devlin studied Japanese at the University of Queensland before moving to Japan in 2005. She lived in Matsue, the birthplace of Japanese ghost stories, for 10 years, where her love for Japanese horror really grew. And with Izumo, the birthplace of Japanese mythology, just a stone’s throw away, she was never too far from the mysterious. You can find her collection of horror and fantasy writings at taraadevlin.com and translations of Japanese horror at kowabana.net.
