Requiem from the Darkness (京極夏彦 巷説百物語 Kyogoku Natsuhiko Kosetsu Hyaku Monogatari?, lit. "Natsuhiko Kyougoku's Hundred Stories") is a series of novels by Natsuhiko Kyogoku. It was made into horror anime series, licensed in English by Geneon Entertainment, and into a series of live action TV specials directed by Yukihiko Tsutsumi.

The plot of the anime revolves around a young writer named Momosuke who wishes to write a book of 100 ghost stories and his encounters with three spiritual beings.
