Marga Biazzi returns to bookstores with a new publication dedicated to Japanese tradition: this graphic novel collects four stories focused on the terrifying spirits known as yūrei.
Cunning, mysterious, vengeful: these are the yūrei, ghosts from Japanese tradition. Just like the spirits in Western legends, these entities take shape from the passing of an individual unable to reach the afterlife until the emotions holding them back are extinguished. Like the most classic of genre anthologies, Japanese Ghosts presents four comic stories set in different eras, but always featuring yūrei as protagonists. These protagonists, however, are not ordinary spirits—they are women who have fallen victim to a social system that oppresses them century after century. The combination of pure narrative entertainment and social criticism makes Marga Biazzi’s work a must-see for a wide and diverse audience.
