Every week I devote myself to going thru a single book on my kindle, and I just started The Columbia Anthology of Modern Japanese Literature and I just got thru reading one of the stories which was called "The Holy Man of Mount Koya" by Izumi Kyoka, which was considered an early example of Japanese Horror.

Anyway, the gist of the story is the beautiful woman the monk stays with overnight is actually a witch who turns men into animals and the only reason he wasn't turned was because of his faith.

Near the end there is a wonderful quote that I think perfectly describes modern women, and was told to the monk by an old man

​

Here the old man's story came to an end and he favored me with one of his ominous and disturbing smiles. 'Now that you have heard my story,' he said, 'perhaps you feel sorry for the girl and think you would like to help her chop wood and haul water. Oh, you may say you feel sorry for her and have compassion, but call it what you will, the fact is your attraction to her is motivated by lust and nothing more. I know that you are determined to go back to the mountain, but I warn you not to do that. She may be the wife of an idiot and she may not covet worldly things, but she makes up for this by taking whatever man catches her fancy, and when she has used him and tires of him, she casts her spell and transforms him into a beast.
