From The Forward by Matthew Meyer, Japanese yokai author and illustrator and founder of Yokai.com:

"One of the key aspects of folklore is that it doesn't belong to anybody; it belongs to everybody. Each storyteller builds upon those who came before them, picking the parts they like best and adding their own bits and pieces to the story. This collection of short stories continues that tradition, starting with the traditional roots of Japanese folklore and retelling them for a modern audience. DC and Michael McGannon draw upon the "folk" nature of folklore by taking familiar stories and making them their own. Their tales stay true to the nature of the ghosts and monsters of old Japan, while adding a bit of their own personality into the mix. Diehard fans of Japanese folklore will recognize the original folktales at the heart of each of these short stories.

DC and Michael McGannon's stories draw from and contribute to the ongoing resurgence of Japanese folklore. They are part of the shared tradition of storytelling which stretch from time immemorial and continues to this day."
