This article analyses the function of mythology in the fantasy genre in Yangsze Choo's novel The Ghost Bride. Since mythology is frequently a source of inspiration for fantasy authors, it is subjected to redefinition and reinterpretation. This article focuses on the main concepts of the Chinese afterlife mythology, namely the underworld, fantastical characters, practices relating to the dead, and the concept of a ghost marriage. The aim is to identify these myths in the novel and relate them to the traditional perception in order to investigate if and how are they reinterpreted and to determine their role in a fantasy novel.
