Lafcadio Hearn’s Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things is more than a collection of ghost stories. Through haunted landscapes, folklore, and lyrical prose studies on butterflies, insects, and myth, Hearn reveals a way of seeing rooted in attention and atmosphere. This Book of the Week explores why Kwaidan remains an essential and inspiring read for haiku and Japanese short form writers.
