A Chronicle of Earthly Demons

He is a Taoist priest who has roamed the world for decades, known as Qingxu.

He travels from village to village, not to seek wealth, but to record the truths about demons and monsters that the world has forgotten.

One man brings home a paper effigy of a ghost bride on his wedding night;

Another hears a dog barking in the middle of the night and goes outside, only for his corpse to be found with dog hair filling his mouth the next day;

Someone lights incense at a graveyard on the edge of a village to pray for blessings, only to be haunted by a vengeful spirit for three generations…

He writes down every one of these stories in his notebook.

They are no legends or ghost stories. They are what Daoist Priest Qingxu witnessed with his own eyes.

One village, one monster. One tale, one calamity.

Now he reveals the truth behind strange tales no one has dared mention for a hundred years.

This book unfolds through standalone short stories threaded together by a central plot. It is genuinely chilling, with a strong air of the strange and supernatural.

Every chapter tells of fates entangled between humans and demons.

Behind every story lurk human desires and malice.
