  怪谈——日本动漫中的传统妖怪

  By 周英

  妖怪文化并不是恐怖的文化，也不是猎奇的文化。之所以说妖怪文化到现在仍然有价值，决不是因为被它的光怪陆离照花了眼，而是透过荒诞的表面，我们可以清晰地触摸到它包含在其中的严肃内核，撇去虚幻的浮沫，我们能够明白地看到它其中蕴涵的真切道理。日本的女妖敢爱敢恨，正是这强烈的情感使得女妖们血肉丰满，性情激烈，呼之欲出。因为“恨”，她们能不惜一切代价去报仇，去反抗。这些痴人，因为无法化解心中的纠结，又无法将生命瓦全于人世，终于在另一个世界中找到了一席之地，或痛快淋漓、或无可奈何地游荡于苍茫天地之间。周英编的《怪谈（日本动漫中的传统妖怪第2版）》图文并茂地介绍了日本动漫中的传统妖怪。
