Yokai, Yurei and More with Author Zack Davisson!

The Kaiju Transmissions Podcast

Byrd, Kevin and Justin interview author Zack Davisson (Yurei: The Japanese Ghost, Ultimate X-Men) about his new book The Ultimate Guide to Japanese Yokai.  We get into his research method and fascination with Japanese folklore, as well as how the book came about.  We also topics such as his translation work translating Japanese manga (most notably the work of Shigeru Mizuki), his work for Marvel Comics and Lucasfilm, and his previous books about Yurei and Kaibyo (supernatural Japanese cats), whether kaiju should be considered yokai, and more!  Relax and join the conversation!
