The Past and the Punishments: Eight Stories by Hua Yu
Eh.
I read through (well more like crawled my way through) almost one-half of this book. It's not that it's bad. The translation is somewhat strange at some sentences, but overall the writing was powerful - graphic in a poetic way, I might say. The stories themselves are not what I'm into. If you like horror, the occult, and graphic depictions of bodily harm, you'll enjoy this. But this is just not my cup of tea.
