This collection of 16th-century Vietnamese tales is in UNESCO's list of representative works. They were written in Chinese (the language of scholars in #Vietnam at the time) by a retired civil servant. They are full of ghosts, gods, monsters & ghouls, and always have a moral. Despite the annotations, some of the cultural background went over my head but the stories have universal appeal - & they're perfect for spooky season.
