Yurei Attack!
by Shinkichi Matt Alt Hiroko YodaYurei is the Japanese word for ghost. It's as simple as that. They are the souls of dead people, unable-or unwilling-to shuffle off this mortal coil. Yurei are many things, but "friendly" isn't the first word that comes to mind. Not every yurei is dangerous, but they are all driven by emotions so uncontrollably powerful that they have taken on a life of their own: rage, sadness, devotion, a desire for revenge, or even the firm belief that they are still alive.This book, the third in the authors' bestselling Attack! series, after Yokai Attack and Ninja Attack gives detailed information on 39 of the creepiest Yurei stalking Japan, along with detailed histories and defensive tactics should you have the misfortune to encounter one.
