Does anyone have the books ‘Japanese Ghost Stories’ or ‘In ghostly Japan’ by Hearn? I have ‘Japanese Tales’ and I’m trying to work out if there’s much of a crossover in content. Hoping to get a look at the contents pages for either of the titles mentioned – thanks 🙂

I have at least one Hearn book in my office. I can check tomorrow if nobody else steps up with one tonight.
I have “In Ghostly Japan” as it was a free ebook, already “preloaded” into the ebooks section on my iPad.
The contents page isn’t very detailed though. There are only two titles: “Furisode” (which is then followed by a bunch of roman numerals in what seems to be random order) and “Suggestion”.
I don’t mind sending a copy if you want to PM me.
“In ghostly Japan” is available via Project Gutenberg, so you can check the contents here: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/8128
Gutenberg has ALL of Lafcadio Hearn’s works available for free download online, since they are LONG out of copyright. Save your money!

Thanks for the help all, looks like I’ve got a few ways of checking now
