Step into a strange world-between-worlds where spirits lurk around every corner and yokai (that’s Japanese for ‘monsters’!) wait in the darkness. Author & illustrator duo Julian Sedgwick & Chie Kutsuwada will bring you face to face with the undying feline bakeneko, the creepy beak-faced tengu, the enchanted tsukumogami and a whole host of fascinating creatures from Japanese folklore.

Full of hope, humour, and belief in the beyond, 100 Tales From the Tokyo Ghost Cafe offers a unique reading experience that gently confronts ghosts, grief, and growing up through a highly immersive blend of Manga and prose.

Julian Sedgwick is the author of six books for children, and co-author of the graphic novel Dark Satanic Mills and illustrated novel Voyages In The Underworld Of Orpheus Black, recently shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal 2020.

Chie Kutsuwada was born and brought up in Japan. A well-known figure in teaching manga in the UK, Chie went to Central Saint Martin’s for her art major and continued her studies at the Royal College of Art.
