Written in 1789, five volumes of weird tales and ghost stories that combined supernatural autobiographical accounts with early speculative fictions. Combining insights into Chinese magic and metaphysics with tales of cannibal villages, sentient fogs, alien encounters, and fox spirits; as well as accounts of soul swapping, haunted cities, and the “jiangshi” (the Chinese vampire),

Can't find any new western Horror, so off I go, and this was superb! Written in first person and honestly puts ya right in it.

The opening that I allowed to read, it made me get it and it didn't disappoint.

Read more on Chinese lore and horror.

disturbing and insightful.
