A lovely collection of short Chinese ghost stories . Read in an afternoon . Was nice to explore other cultures and pick up a book I wouldn't normally gravitate towards . 3 stars for this one . Wouldn't re read but glad I read it through today

Fairies, foxes, trolls and demon-turtles...

A collection of simple, easy to follow, short stories from 17th century China. They were fantastic in my personal opinion.

These were the perfect change of pace that I needed 😊

#Ghostly #Scarathon #ChillingPhotoChallenge @Clwojick #TeamSlaughter the tagged book is from my little penguin classics and has classical Chinese ghost stories. The photo book is one on the gargoyles from old cathedrals and nothing is more ghostly to me than gothic architecture.

Not exactly my specialty but here goes...

A cup of sake beneath the cherry tree
The nightingales are drunk
The terrors of the night come close
The night is darkening around me
Wailing ghosts linger behind closed doors
As kingfishers catch fire

Penguin returned back to form for me again with this collection. Folklore seems to divide people but once I get my head into it I tend to really enjoy it and there was a fantastic amount of variety in this collection.

DreesReads I wish my library had these! 8y

This is collection of short stories. They aren't scary scary, but more focused on the supernatural events ... and interesting part about stories-they are extremely short (one page or less).
