Yokai Monsters

Yokai Monsters - By the Great Masters of Japanese Woodblock Printing

Japanese folklore teems with strange and spectral beings— yōkai that slither from wells, creep through forests, or inhabit forgotten household objects. These creatures have long reflected deep cultural anxieties and obsessions. Their influence endures today, pulsing through manga, anime, and horror cinema like walking nightmares haunting our daily lives. In follow up to his bestselling Yōkai Ghosts, Charlier examines these beings through their myths, habitats, and behaviours, uncovering the human fears and desires they embody.
