Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio
聊齋志異 · Twelve Tales
Twelve of Pu Songling's best tales, translated directly from the classical Chinese, each with the cultural notes that make a seventeenth-century story legible to a modern reader. EPUB, reads on any device.
The sample contains Nie Xiaoqian, The Painted Skin and Wang Liulang, free, so you can judge the translations before paying. If you like them, the whole library of forty tales is on this site, free, forever.
