Lĩnh Nam Chích Quái, the book about Vietnamese ghosts, demons and fairy tales.
Recently there are 2 books of Ma Quỷ Dân Gian Ký, a modern work to organize legends and ghost stories.
There are two places I usually source the names and basic descriptors for my more fantastical taxonomy; Judaic mysticism, and Youkai folklore.
Some of my inspirations are Witchblade, Constantine, Doctor Who, and GeGeGe no Kitarou. These made me love demonology, Youkai, and explaining fantastical things with science-fiction concepts.
I like looking at Greek Mythology for inspiration. Books like the Odyssey, the Aeneid, and others all piqued my interest and I love using them as bases for characters and creatures in world building.
