Start Reading

  Six fantastic tales from classic Japanese literature as interpreted by horror manga master Hideshi Hino. The narrative power of these tales, and in particular the frightening scenery of Rashomon, has inspired, and continues to inspire, artists from the most diverse disciplines of art such as the celebrated writer Ryunosuke Akutagawa and the great director Akira Kurosawa. "The Demon of Rashomon" represents one of the pinnacles of auteur manga capable of combining two seemingly irreconcilable elements: the formal sophistication of traditional Japanese storytelling and the violence of the horror genre.
