《怪谈》为小泉八云根据日本古典文学名篇所作的复述与改写，采自《卧游奇谈》《夜窗鬼谈》《十训抄》《今昔物语》《雨月物语》《古今著闻集》《百物语》《新撰百物语》等诸多日本古籍，这些黑暗中或孤独或寂寞的故事，深得日本文学之三昧，是日本历史的间接体现，同时也承载着东方共有的文化美感。
小泉八云（1850-1904）爱尔兰裔日本作家，原名拉夫卡迪奥·赫恩。1890年他前往日本，与岛根县松江中学的英语教师小泉节子结婚，归化日本，改名小泉八云，在东京大学担任英国文学教授。小泉八云深爱日本充满魅力的风土人情，从妻子口中听闻了许多民间传说，并着手写成短篇故事，集结成《怪谈》一书，使他成为现代日本怪谈文学的鼻祖。

翻译的口吻令人不适，错别字更是……为此扣一星。如果有选择还是看看别的译本吧。
要说惊喜算不上了，但确实经典。有一些甚至显得很「现代」，甚至可以说是富有「电影感」。

This is an indispensable book for anyone interested in Japanese history, culture, and thought. The stories all hint at traditions and ideas that still influence Japan today, and are just plain interesting.
Except for the ant stuff. I'm still not sure what the point of all that was.
