Chinese Ghouls and Goblins

Chinese Ghouls and Goblins

Chinese Ghouls and Goblins is a book on the supernatural in Chinese folklore written by British author Gerald Willoughby-Meade and published in London in 1928. (It was possibly published earlier in New York in 1926, but the records are so far indeterminate.)

The book is 431 pages long and divided into 15 chapters.

A notable chapter of the book is devoted to Chinese Vampires referred to as Ch'iang Shih.

This section was extensively cited by Montague Summers in his book The Vampire, His Kith and Kin (1928, London)
