Book excerpt: The Tales of vengeful souls was originally translated as an appendix to my Ph. D. dissertation (University of California, Berkeley, 1971). Since my objective was to study these avenging ghost episodes in comparison with similar accounts in Chinese imperial historical sources, my translation was purposefully literal. However, these stories can readily be enjoyed for themselves. Therefore I have revised the translation into what I hope is fairly readable English and offer them to readers who may enjoy a ghostly yarn. -- Preface.
