Hiroko Yoda and Matt Alt's new book, Yokai Attack: The Japanese Monster Survival Guide, is now available at Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/4770030703/

It's an English language field guide to the millions of unusual small creatures lurking everywhere in the wilds of Japan. Strongly recommended for yokai, kaiju, kaijin, and kaibutsu fans everywhere!

Didn't they have a web site up with all the different Yokai alphabetically categorized?

I think that website was the Obakemono project, but it looks like its down now. As far as I know it wasn't related to the book, though.

The Yokai Attack book RULES, I picked one up a couple of weeks back and totally loved it. Definitely worth $10!

You're right... that's weird! I got a 404 error when I tried to go there earlier today.

no, its up

This book looks ok, but There are way nice *(and way more expensive) japanese guides that I'd rather have.

Did I ever show you guys our Rokurokubi art?

Yes, there are better books...but not in English, or at least I haven't found any.

Folks should keep in mind that it's also a bit "tongue-in-cheek" so it's not a straight up analysis of yokai.

It is a fun read, and the art work is really nice!

The writing is solid and VERY informative. The art is just icing on the cake. Reminds me of Yoshihiro Togashi or even Shigero Mizuki himself! Love the format and the presentation too! It's right up there with the Mook as far as Skullbrain must have reference material!
