Synopsis

Using the mysterious art of corpse-driving in western Hunan as its thread, this tale unveils the history of a mysterious region through the struggle between uprisings by the Miao and Dong minorities and the Ming Empire’s brutal suppression. It features the supernatural powers of the three masters of ghosts, gu poison, and venom from the mysterious Guigu Valley, as well as the historical feuds of powerful martial-world factions such as the Wudou Rice Sect, the Five Poisons Cult, the Raft Gang, the Salt Gang, and the Grain Transport Gang. It tells of factional strife between the Donglin Party and the eunuch faction during the Ming dynasty, and of the mutual bloodshed between the Eastern Depot, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and various gangs. It has the wonders of using gu to control poisonous snakes and wild beasts, the mystery of the resurrected dead, strange tales from the world of the living, and the eerie horrors of hell... This book reveals the mysterious ecology of the realms of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, lifting the veil on the ghosts, gu, and poisons of western Hunan’s corpse-drivers.

Chinese-Style Horror Novels Like Three Corpse Tales

I’m looking for fantasy novels with a mystical feel, usually involving sorcerers, Taoist magic, and the like. They should feel both distant from and close to everyday life: strange things that happen in our world are actually caused by things we can’t see.
