Kyoto Kaidan Kamigakushi (Take Shobo Bunko)

[Machine Translation] A collection of true ghost stories set in "Kyoto" written by authors with ties to Kyoto. The five authors, Hanabusa Kannon, Tanabe Seikaeru, Suzaku Monde, Fukatsu Sakura, a ghost story teller, and the up-and-coming Tatematsu Tae, each present their own "Kyoto ghost" stories. Included are tales of terror in and around Kyoto and its environs, such as "Oni no Hanashi (Tales of Demons)," a ghost story about a demon that often appears in Kyoto, "Fukamori-ike (Deep Muddy Pond)," a horror story about a man being chased by a strange shape in a haunted place, and "Shinigami (Death God)," a chain of deaths involving the author. Kyoto is a land of grudges, and the memories of the ancient capital, which has continued to 2025, will surely haunt you in a fascinating way.
