As of 2007, there were 50 volumes published by Doshinsha. Over 8 million copies of the books have published so far. The books were adapted into a TV anime series by Toei Animation, which began airing in 2009. It derives its name from " kaidan", which loosely translates to "thriller" (from "kai", meaning strange, mysterious, rare or bewitching apparition, and "dan", meaning talk or recited narrative; a more direct translation would be a ghost or horror story).

The anime was frequently among the 10 highest rated anime shows of the week in Japan. The series was adapted into a hybrid live-action and anime feature film in 2010 ...
