This is a collection of 21 short stories with a variety of graphic artists illustrating each one. This gives each story a slightly different feel.  The stories range from Mulan to a flood story to several dealing with demons. 

The stories are mix of fun and a little bit disturbing.  Some guy gets his ears ripped off, a bird gets its tongue cut out, and a sister gets drowned.  This is a quick read and will give you an overview of the Asian culture.  Many of the stories were intriguing enough I found myself wanting to read the original legend or myth in more detail.
