pluralarchivesSource Name: The Nine Emperor Gods: A Study of Chinese Spirit Medium Cults
Creator/s: Cheu Hock Tong
Years Active: 1988
About: I can't find a blurb for this stupid book better than "During the first nine days of the ninth lunar month, Chinese in Malaysia and Singapore will celebrate the Festival of the Nine Emperor Gods. This book offers an interesting survey about the survival of such traditional customs among ethnic Chinese."
Archives: Seems to only exist on paper, and be out of print. The same author in 2020 put out a book called The Festival of the Nine Emperor Gods: Myth, Ritual, and Symbol, but it's unclear to me if this is the same book, a different one, or an updated edition. (And that book seems to be on paper only as well.)
Notes: Haven't read it, but want it on record somewhere. Only know of it because Zen Cho references it for her fiction book Black Water Sister.
