Chinese Urban Legends: Scaring Ghosts to Death

Mystery + horror + supernatural + feng shui and folk customs + no System + clever protagonist + first-person narration

My name is Xing Shaorong, an ordinary man who was “assigned” to work at the funeral home in Suolong Village.

I thought I’d spend the rest of my life with formaldehyde and cremation ovens, until a corpse whose eyes wouldn’t close no matter what completely turned my world upside down.

Here, corpses whisper in the morgue in the dead of night. Touch the “grave-suppressing money” at the mass burial ground, and you’ll die. In the Widow’s Well west of the village, a bride in red is always smiling at you...

The old funeral home director, Old Liu, told me that if I wanted to survive, I had to learn the rules.

But what he didn’t tell me was that the biggest rule in Suolong Village is to cover up the truth.

Every corpse brought in hides a forbidden past. And the funeral home where I work is the prison holding all this horror at bay!
