Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Strange Tales of Pu Songling (1640-1715) are exquisite and amusing miniatures that are regarded as the pinnacle of classical Chinese fiction. With their elegant prose, witty wordplay and subtle charm, the 104 stories in this selection reveal a world in which nothing is as it seems. Here a Taoist monk conjures up a magical pear tree, a scholar recounts his previous incarnations, a woman out-foxes the fox-spirit that possesses her, a child bride gives birth to a thimble-sized baby, a ghostly city appears out of nowhere and a heartless daughter-in-law is turned into a pig. In his tales of humans coupling with shape-shifting spirits, bizarre phenomena, haunted buildings and enchanted objects, Pu Songling pushes back the boundaries of human experience and enlightens as he entertains.

Book excerpt: Imagine if H.P. Lovecraft were Chinese and his tales were true. Or if a national, political figure like Benjamin Franklin was also a paranormal investigator, one who wrote up his investigations with a chilling, story-telling flair that reads like a combination of Franz Kafka and Zhuangzi. In China, a figure existed in the eighteenth century who was a little bit of both these things. Special Advisor to the emperor, Head of the Department of War, Imperial Librarian, and one of the most celebrated scholars and poets of his time, his name was Ji Yun. Beginning in 1789, Ji Yun published five volumes of weird tales that combined supernatural and frequently moving autobiographical accounts with early speculative fictions. By turns darkly comic, terrifying, and transcendentally mystical, they revolutionized Chinese speculative and horror fiction AND nonfiction, and portrayed a China never before depicted: one poised between old ways and new, where repeating rifles shared the world with Tibetan black-magic, Jesuit astronomers rubbed elbows with cosmic horrors, and a vibrant sex trade of the reanimated dead was conducted in the night. Combining insights into Chinese magic and metaphysics with tales of cannibal villages, sentient fogs, and alien encounters; as well as nightmarish narratives of soul swapping, haunted cities, and fox spirits; no other work compares to Ji Yun's. Designed as both entertainment and an occult technology that awakens readers to new dimensions of reality, one cannot walk away from his stories unchanged. The Shadow Book of Ji Yun is a literary translation of Ji Yun's most masterful tales.
