Further Reading

Many of the yokai on this website are featured in my book, The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. I am currently working on a second book, The Hour of Meeting Evil Spirits, which will be published in 2014. There are many other excellent resources, online and in print, for yokai information. These are the very best of them that I have found.
