Across the ancient land of Huaxia, strange and uncanny tales have always been passed down by word of mouth. Hidden in the crevices of time and tucked away in villages and neighborhoods, they are the world brought to life in Records of Folk Ghost Tales.
This is no ordinary collection of ghost stories. Every tale springs from a mysterious folk legend, said to be rooted in reality. A bizarre bell rings at midnight in an ancient temple deep in the mountains, drawing the wails of the dead; in an old town, an invisible shadow appears with every full moon to steal children's souls. A mournful song drifts up from the well of an ancestral home, revealing the tangled loves and hatreds of several generations; beneath an ancient tree in an abandoned village, a lonely spirit tormented by love tells passersby a heartbreaking tale no one has ever heard.
With delicate prose, this book paints a world of ghosts that is both bizarre and close to everyday life. Here, ghostly encounters are more than just chilling stories: they reflect the good and evil of human nature, and the warmth and coldness of the world. Open its pages, and you will seem to step into a mysterious realm of folk wonders. Follow characters both ordinary and legendary as they uncover the truth hidden in the darkness and experience thrills and shocks unlike any before.
