The best place to start your yokai education but with so much info crammed into it to make it an absolute must-have for any yokai otaku.

Yokai Attack!: The Japanese Monster Survival Guide|Paperback

Yurei Attack!: The Japanese Ghost Survival Guide|Paperback

An absolute must-read for anyone who wants to know everything about yokai. Half the book is an encyclopedia of essential yokai such as kappa, tengu, kuchisake onna etc. The first half is the culture of yokai and their place in Japanese history. I especially like the bit about the authors and folklorists that shaped yokai culture like Toriyama Sekien, Shigeru Mizuki, and Kazuhiko Komatsu.

Just don't make the mistake I did and get the hardcover edition. It's completely black with not even the title on the cover. Maybe not the biggest issue but it really bugs me.
