(2) 4-6 Bedard shortens and simplifies twenty-three stories out of hundreds gathered by seventeenth-century Shandong scholar Pu Songling and commonly titled Liaozhai zhiyi. Replete with haunted monasteries, spirit brides and seducers, wandering souls, and vengeful ghosts, Bedard's retelling gives Western readers a chance to enter a world created by a distinctively Chinese imagination.
