A Banquet for Hungry Ghosts

Ying Chang Compestine
21st Century American-Chinese Horror

A Banquet for Hungry Ghosts

It was my lovely spouse who actually recommended this book. She’s made quite few of Compestine’s recipes and enjoyed them almost as much as I know she enjoyed the stories. This is a review of Ying Chang Compestine’s A Banquet for Hungry Ghosts.
