Fans of J-Horror are a loyal bunch, but guide books to their preferred film genre have so far all been either long advertorials for one director, or pedantic diatribes laden with theoretical jargon. J-Horror is the encyclopedia and consumer guide to the genre filled with detailed commentary on over 80 films, by one of the most loyal fans of them all.

Navigating the numerous versions released in the U.S. and Japan of The Ring, The Grudge, Tomie and other films and sorting out the finest output of legends like Takashi Miike is an intimidating task. J-Horror breaks down each and every franchise, from the narrative to the talent behind the screen and other trivia, for a greater understanding and appreciation of the genre. Learn about the influence Japanese folklore and ghost stories had on J-Horror, and the influence of J-Horror on American cinema. Just don't forget your copy on the way to the video store!
