Author Description

There's a reason why Japan is so famous for horror, it has spun off into a sub-genre of its own - J-horror. Be it anime, haunted places, or films of ghostly encounters and spirits, many of these sensational tales were inspired by urban legends that may very well be true. Pull the blinds down, switch the lights off, and huddle under your blanket. Ready or not, these Japanese urban legends will chill you to your bones and leave you wide awake long after the night has passed. Urban legends are usually frightening, creepy stories which feature modern settings, elements of popular culture and dark, often disturbing aspects. These stories endure much like their cousins from classic folklore and fairy tales because they often have a lesson to teach us; and other times, because we just like to be scared. Here are some of the most frightening, enduring and interesting urban legends from Japan. Reading this collection of scary stories in the dark or by yourself is likely to keep you up all night. Or, at the very least, send a chill down your spine--even if you consider yourself the bravest of the brave. Oh, is that a challenge? Why yes, it is. ***Don't miss this shocking series of scary stories!*** The Book of Horror: Scary Stories and Creepypastas (Vol. 1): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HB9JJ8W The Book of Horror: Scary Stories and Creepypastas (Vol. 2): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HGZW54M
