Kwaidan Stories and Studies of Strange Things

I read quite a few different short stories in the Kwaidan book. I found the footnotes helpful in explaining what some of the items or words meant. But overall I enjoyed these stories; I do think they are extremely different from our Ghost stories. With some of the stories I stopped and said, okay, that’s it? The stories seem to be different from ours in the way they are not really horrific. I would compare these stories to our urban legends than of our horror stories.
