Anthony Bourdain's Hungry Ghosts
Ratings12
Average rating3.3
"On a dark, haunted night, a Russian Oligarch dares a circle of international chefs to play the samurai game of 100 Candles--where each storyteller tells a terrifying tale of ghosts, demons and unspeakable beings--and prays to survive the challenge. Inspired by the Japanese Edo period game of Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai, Hungry Ghosts reimagines the classic stories of yokai, yorei, and obake, all tainted with the common thread of food."--

Interesting and great visual design. Really pulls from Japanese mythology in a cool way, though at times I found some of the dialogue a little... lacking.
Horror book? Check! Has Yokai? Check! Graphic novel? Check!
It had a so many things going for it for me and it just missed it's mark. Maybe because the short stories were not long enough to get me fully invested. I can not put my finger on it exactly. My favorite story out of all of them was the “Salty Horses”. Nice, creepy, and the horses reminded me more of a nightmare. Still this is short so give this a try! ~Ashley
