Strange Tales from the People

Hush. Don't make a sound. Listen to the old tales woven into the wind.

These are no distant legends. They lurk in the earth beneath our feet, hide beneath kitchen stoves wreathed in smoke, and lie in wait along silent village roads in the dead of night. "Folktales of the Strange" is no work of fiction. It is the chill seeping from the very heart of rural China, a collection of taboos and ghost stories whispered by old folks in low voices and passed from ear to ear in the dim glow of oil lamps.

Open this collection, still carrying the scent of earth and morning dew, and step into a rural world that is utterly real yet strange at every turn.
