Tales of the Revolving Lantern: One volume, one tribulation; one lantern, one delusion. The world's strange tales are all reflections of the human heart.
Ancient legends speak of a “revolving lantern” that endlessly turns through the cycle of rebirth. Its shifting light reveals the myriad facets of the mortal world and its countless strange happenings. Inspired by folk tales, this novel weaves together eerie legends scattered through rural villages and city alleyways. Each volume is a self-contained tale, yet in subtle ways, they are all quietly linked by the elusive shadow of a single lantern.
The lantern bearer travels between reality and illusion, guiding the souls who linger in the mortal world, unable to let go of their obsessions, and uncovering hidden causes and consequences buried deep in the past. Greed, hatred, and delusion take the shape of demons and ghosts; love and hate congeal into curses and grudges. And the truth is often more chilling than the ghost stories.
With a haunting style, this book depicts the light and darkness of human nature, using supernatural tales to probe the obsessions that bind ordinary hearts. As the lantern's light shifts, each lantern becomes a riddle of the mortal world, waiting for you to solve.
