Features: The Liaozhai stories in this book are carefully selected parts that I am interested in. To provide the greatest satisfaction and interest for English-speaking readers, I have revised and rewritten each story. The original author of "Liaozhai," Pu Songling, died three centuries ago. Now, I do my best to rewrite some of his works in English. Obviously, I haven't obtained his consent. I only hope that in his ghostly world, he won't object too much to the work I've done in the mortal world. Like every male and female protagonist in his stories, he might also possess supernatural powers, and perhaps even decide to return to the human world to visit me. Maybe he will thank me for introducing his stories to English-speaking readers.
