Lafcadio Hearn's The Faceless Ghost and Other Macabre Tales from Japan: A Graphic Novel #[nn]

In "Diplomacy," a chilling tale from Lafcadio Hearn’s collected macabre stories, a condemned man swears vengeance from beyond the grave—only for a master of the supernatural to test the power of his final vow. Written by Lafcadio Hearn and Sean Michael Wilson, and illustrated with haunting precision by Michiru Morikawa, this graphic novel adaptation brings a 19th-century Japanese ghost story to life with quiet dread. The cover, also by Morikawa, captures the story’s eerie stillness in ink and shadow.
