Unlock the mystical world of ancient China's ghostly folklore with our new adaptations of classic Chinese literary works. Immerse yourself in the supernatural realm while honing your Chinese skills and uncovering centuries-old mythology, traditions, and beliefs. In this collection, we have carefully curated 15 intriguing ghost or supernatural stories, presented in both Chinese and English. These stories are new adaptations of selected tales from renowned literary works in China, including Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio 《聊斋志异》, Miscellaneous Morsels from Youyang 《酉阳杂俎》, Anecdotes About Spirits and Immortals《搜神记》, and more. We adapt these stories for a couple of reasons. First, classic Chinese literature is often written in a style that differs significantly from modern Chinese, posing challenges for contemporary readers. Second, some of these works serve not merely as entertainment but as records of extraordinary events and folklore, employing straightforward language without elaborate storytelling. Our new adaptations preserve the original plots while presenting them in modern standard Mandarin with a more engaging narrative. This approach allows readers to enjoy the stories while learning common and useful vocabulary and expressions. The 15 stories are: 1. The Ghost Pressing Down on the Bed 咬鬼 2. The Ghost with Painted Skin 画皮 3. The Headless Ghost 无头鬼 4. Hanba the Drought Demon 旱魃鬼 5. The Lonely Wandering Soul 孤魂野鬼 6. The Vengeful Spirit 冤鬼 7. Zhong Kui Kills Ghosts 钟馗杀鬼 8.
