Book Synopsis Seven Demon Stories from Medieval Japan by : Noriko T. Reider
Download or read book Seven Demon Stories from Medieval Japan written by Noriko T. Reider and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2016-10-03 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Japanese culture, oni are ubiquitous supernatural creatures who play important roles in literature, lore, and folk belief. Characteristically ambiguous, they have been great and small, mischievous and dangerous, and ugly and beautiful over their long history. Here, author Noriko Reider presents seven oni stories from medieval Japan in full and translated for an English-speaking audience. Reider, concordant with many scholars of Japanese cultural studies, argues that to study oni is to study humanity. These tales are from an era in which many new oni stories appeared for the purpose of both entertainment and moral/religious edification and for which oni were particularly important, as they were perceived to be living entities. They reflect not only the worldview of medieval Japan but also themes that inform twenty-first-century Japanese pop and vernacular culture, including literature, manga, film, and anime. With each translation, Reider includes an introductory essay exploring the historical and cultural importance of the characters and oni manifestations within this period. Offering new insights into and interpretations of not only the stories therein but also the entire genre of Japanese ghost stories, Seven Demon Stories is a valuable companion to Reider’s 2010 volume Japanese Demon Lore. It will be of significant value to folklore scholars as well as students of Japanese culture.

Download or read book The Rose Demon written by Paul Doherty and published by Headline. This book was released on 2012-09-25 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A haunted, misunderstood outcast... or a murderer? Paul Doherty writes an epic, spine-chilling story of terror, mystery and black magic set in the Middle Ages in his spellbinding novel, The Rose Demon. Perfect for fans of Michael Jecks and Robin Hobb. Matthias Fitzosbert is the illegitimate son of the parish priest of the village of Sutton Courteny. Despite the recent spate of murders, each day he braves the dark woods to visit his friend, a mysterious hermit who shows him many strange and beautiful things. Though enthralled, the boy is always puzzled by his lessons with the hermit - never more so than the night the villagers hunt the hermit down, and burn him, believing him to be responsible for the many deaths. The Rose Demon explores Matthias's unique relationship with a spirit he strives to placate but ultimately flees from. His story is played out against the vivid panorama of medieval life; the fall and sack of Constantinople, the turbulent Wars of the Roses, the terror of witchcraft, the battlefields of Spain and finally the lush jungles of the Caribbean where the Rose Demon and Matthias have one final, dramatic confrontation. What readers are saying about Paul Doherty: 'Doherty weaves his spell on his readers bringing medieval England to life' 'A captivating read - I was thrilled' 'Pure brilliance'

In fact, Gabriela is one pussycat that isn't a ... , well, I can't say that here. Just stay out of the way of her glowing eyes and razor-sharp claws. Blacker than your closet that holds a nighttime surprise, Gabriela, fresh from another visit in Hell while awaiting rebirth into another horrid life among the living, feeds our fears with stories of her lives, as well as those she's heard during her visits to the underworld. Her previous owners have either been evil or have met with dire fates at the hands of those that are. Darker, yet, are the stories she's heard while awaiting her many reincarnations. The thirteen events she relates are not for the timid unless your forte is being eaten alive or having your head ripped off. No, this isn't a zombie book, so forget that. It's the day animals attack vs. the fortitude of black magic and telekinetic power vs. creatures of the darkness. From monsters of legend to demented human killers, her stories are those to tell prior to retiring for the evening ... if sadistic revenge is your goal.
