Long Description:
本文改編客籍作家甘耀明第一部長篇小說《殺鬼》，縮減其文字篇幅，輔以張琬茹所繪之插圖，使其成為適合國小五年級至國中九年級學生閱讀的少年圖書。甘耀明為新生代客籍小說家，其長篇小說《殺鬼》描寫二戰期間台灣少年劉興帕的成長經驗。劉興帕從客籍漢人的認同，在日本殖民政策以及皇民化教育下，逐漸轉為日本認同，直至二戰結束日本戰敗後，國民政府接收台灣，身為台籍日本兵的劉興帕因作者甘耀明所賦予台灣原住民之「原力」(The Force)，而得以脫去政治制度認同的枷鎖，回歸族群原生的力量。

張琬茹創作插圖則以下列幾個原則找出描繪的圖像，代表張琬茹對於《殺鬼》的詮釋角度。一、鬼之圖像。《殺鬼》的主軸是國族認同的擺盪，各有不同國族認同之「鬼」代表：劉興帕-飄盪的「日本」鬼、劉金福-慈悲老鬼、吳湯興-為民族而戰的鬼王、鹿野武雄-實現武士道的鬼中佐、拉娃與尤敏-反戰的祖靈。二、象徵意義。筆者列舉文本中具有代表性之象徵：火車-現代化的力量、菊花-日本皇族、茶花 -堅忍的客籍族群、螃蟹-原住民救贖之力、台灣山林與土地-涵養生命與族群扎根之處。筆者徐光鋕依張琬茹的《少年的自我療傷》為基礎，將之製作成多媒體版本，命名為「《少年的自我療傷—甘耀明《殺鬼》少年圖書改編》多媒體教材」。
