Unsolved Japanese mysteries, bizarre tales and strange events-all in amazing full-color!

These 124 spooky, scary and silly stories lift the lid on the creepy urban legends and haunted homes that have terrified and titillated Japanese city dwellers and students for ages.

  • Hanako of the Toilet, the creepy girl who hangs out in the stalls-and drags you in with her!
  • Hasshaku-sama, the 8-foot-tall woman whose favorite activity is chewing on children
  • Kisaragi Station, all aboard the ghost train leaving from a station not found on any map
  • Kune Kune, the squiggle figure who wiggles and waves: Don't look or you'll be driven insane!
  • And 119 other tales of mayhem and magical happenings!

In three creepy sections, Japanese Urban Legends visits urban and rural legend sites, spooky schools and haunted homes-sure to keep you flipping the full-color pages for more!

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.

My favourite pick for manga

Great delivery to EU, no issues with customs. Very good packaging. A nice selection of manga and, so far, the best prices I could find :)

Great as always

Same old, same old. Amazing experience, great packaging, shipping was faster since it was a bit smaller and check out was smooth as butter. I have now put myself on a buy allowance because I cannot be trusted lol.
