Yin Coffin*

From the very beginning, I was gripped by the setting of "The Evil Star Returns to His Hometown"! "Yin Coffin Crossing" perfectly combines folk horror and life experience mystery - rotten meat noodles, peach wood sword to exorcise evil spirits, black cloth coffin and other details, filling the gloomy atmosphere of Huaimu Village. Grandpa's transformation from an ordinary craftsman to a reclusive master is particularly stunning, and the sense of fate that "the coming of age ceremony is a game of life and death" makes this game around the coffin shop full of Eastern Cthulhu-style horror and suspense. As a lover of suspense and the supernatural, this solid folkloric texture and progressive layers of strange things are really addictive.

People in Huaimu Village say that Xu Ji is an evil star picked up from the grave by the coffin maker Old Man Xu, who can harm his father and his mother, bringing with him bad luck. For eighteen years, he grew up relying on his grandfather's coffin shop and endured the rejection of the whole village, thinking that he could escape this gloomy land after taking the college entrance examination. But on the eve of the college entrance examination, a phone call saying "grandpa is critically ill" dragged him back to this village full of strange legends. However, the so-called "critical illness" turned out to be a scam - Grandpa's face was red and he ate weird rotten meat noodles, forcing him to take back the whole village's big rooster and a black dog overnight. What's even more bizarre is that the aunt from the same village suddenly turned into a beast, showing her fangs and attacking people crazily. But the grandfather, who never showed his ability, actually held a dusty peach wood sword and dispersed the evil spirit with a sharp shout. As this strange incident breaks out, Xu Ji discovers that the village's fear is by no means groundless: his grandfather's coffin contains unknown secrets, the coffin covered with black cloth in the corner of the courtyard has been prepared, and the shadow of the cemetery in the back hill has always shrouded his life. The coming-of-age ceremony at the age of eighteen is actually a fateful handover involving life and death. What kind of conspiracy is hidden in his life experience? Why did grandpa protect him for eighteen years? How many forgotten and horrific truths are buried between Huaimu Village and Houshan Cemetery? When the fate of the evil star collides with the evil deeds, this game of "coffin" for a living has just begun...

Xu Ji originally wanted to escape from Huaimu Village, but he didn't expect that his grandfather would run him back and experience a series of bizarre and weird things. The story unfolds from a first-person perspective, the content is rich and exciting, and the plot has ups and downs and is gripping. This is a novel worth recommending.
