Gui 鬼 and Guai 怪

This website is dedicated to the study of Chinese zhiguai 志怪 (lit. 'records of the strange') collections, particularly the ways in which digital humanities methods can enrich our understanding of such texts. The website was developed during participation in summer 2019 coursework for the Digital Humanities Certificate at the University of California, Berkeley.
