The ""phantom heroine"" - in particular the fantasy of her resurrection through sex with a living man - is one of the most striking features of Chinese literature. While vampires can be of either gender, erotic Chinese ghosts are almost exclusively female. This book talks about the significance of this gender asymmetry in Chinese literary history.
