Long considered a masterpiece of the eerie and fantastic, Strange
Tales from a Chinese Studio is a collection of supernatural-themed
tales compiled from ancient Chinese folk stories by Songling Pu in
the eighteenth century. These tales of ghosts, magic, vampirism,
and other things bizarre and fantastic are an excellent Chinese
companion to Lafcadio Hearn's well-known collections of Japanese
ghost stories Kwaidan and In Ghostly Japan. Already a true classic
of Chinese literature and of supernatural tales in general, this
new edition of the Herbert A. Giles translation converts the work
to Pinyin for the first time and includes a new foreword by
Victoria Cass that properly introduces the book to both readers of
Chinese literature and of hair-raising tales best read with the
lights turned low on a quiet night. Some of the stories found in
these pages include: The Tiger of Zhaocheng The Magic Sword Miss
Lianziang, the Fox-Girl The Quarrelsome Brothers The Princess Lily
A Rip Van Winkle The Resuscitated Corpse Taoist Miracles A Chinese
Solomon
