Halloween is basically upon us, so today I bring you a bit of a different post from my usual ones to set the right mood. I have a weird relationship with horror films—just like with chocolate, haha—I’m generally not a big fan but I’ll still watch them from time to time. The same goes for video games… You’ll never find me play one—I’m genuinely too scared—but I won’t hide that I like watching others play them.
I first came to hear of Lafcadio Hearn during my visit at the “Fantasmi e Spiriti del Giappone” exhibition, as the tales depicted in Benjamin Lacombe's book are inspired by Hearn’s stories. Today, I will be sharing my impressions of Hearn's book In Ghostly Japan.
