Asian Ghost Stories is a collection of short horror stories translated from some famous works all over Asia. I had hopes for the book, but somewhere it lacks the basic thing. The stories are translated from their original language and that is where the problem starts. The translation is not so good, due to which the essence of the story got lost. Although, some of the stories are really good, but, the other stories are totally disappointing.

I could only give 3 stars to the book. Thanks to Netgalley for providing me an opportunity to read and review the book.

This is a substantial collection of stories, with an often very different depiction of what a ghost is compared to the Western literature that has tended to dominate the theme. I mostly found them intriguing rather than scary, but overall I enjoyed it.
