Yuki-Onna by Lafcadio Hearn — A Promise Made in the Storm
Something comes in with the snow
A blizzard on the river. A ferryman’s empty hut. An old woodcutter and his young apprentice bar the door and wait for morning. Lafcadio Hearn’s retelling of a Japanese legend, from Kwaidan (1904), is a quiet ghost story with a long, cold reach.
