Unquiet Spirits: Essays by Asian Women in Horror by Angela Yuriko Smith, Lee Murray
informative
slow-paced
3.0
When I first started reading it, I had no idea what to expect. I try to start every book without many expectations, this way I can't really get too disappointed. This companion connects Asian mythology to the lives of Asian Horror/Ghost Story Writers in a series of intensely personal and emotional essays rather than simply a collection of ghost stories. Which I actually hoped for.
It was interesting reading about the background of all those ghost stories, which always star a female ghost. But unfortunately, I don't really know all those stories which were marked. Or maybe I did hear of some of them, but just a slightly different version. As it is with all kind of mythological creatures, every culture has them in a slightly different version.
It was quite interesting reading about the writers' backgrounds, but nevertheless I hoped for more ghost story time.
