I loved reading this book. It was so interesting to immerse myself into these old stories, try to read between the lines and discover parallels to stories I knew. I learned a lot, and I felt very entertained as well. Of course I liked some stories more than others, but that's only natural considering the sheer amount there is. Some were delightfully creepy, others made me think for a long time.
All in all, I recommend this book to everybody interested in history, in weird/horror stories and in broadening their horizon outside of the US and Europe.

Thank you to the publisher, Empress Wu Books, for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
