Features: The Liaozhai stories in this book have been carefully selected by me for your interest. To provide the greatest satisfaction and enjoyment for English-speaking readers, I have revised and rewritten each story. The original author of "Liaozhai," Pu Songling, died three centuries ago. Now, to the best of my ability, I have rewritten some of his works in English. Obviously, I have not obtained his consent. I only hope that in his ghostly world, he does not object too strongly to the work I have done in the human world. Like every male and female protagonist in his stories, he may also possess supernatural powers, and perhaps he might even decide to return to the human world to visit me. Maybe he would thank me for introducing his stories to English-speaking readers.
