Thoroughly enjoying Yokai Monsters: 100 Monsters.
What are the Yokai? Scary Japanese monsters and spirits (Obake). Their stories come from Japanese folklore and The Captive Wildwoman has a great introduction to some of the creatures here. A reference guide of sorts, for English speakers to learn what they are all about, can be found at Yokai Attack!. I've found this to be a welcome follow-up to the now-dead Ultraman obsession that The Kid began when he was about three and which lasted for many years.
Goodbye Tiga. Hello Yokai.
