Horror Novels, the Scarier the Better! The Kind That Keep You Too Afraid to Sleep After Reading at Midnight
There should be a male protagonist and no female lead. The male lead should be handsome but cruel, fearless on the outside and in his personality, and, most importantly, strong and cruel. Extremely cruel!
The Pinnacle of Supernatural Horror Novels, in My Opinion
What I consider the pinnacle of supernatural horror stories.
Horror Novels! They Have to Be Really Scary!!! No Supernatural or Occult Stuff
I don’t want horror that’s purely about ghosts and monsters. I want horror caused by people, like the terrifying scenes in Stealing Faces and Ashtray, which are all human-made.
Terrifying Novels (No Audiobooks Unless They're Read by Real People)
Looking for books similar to "A Hundred Ghosts Bury the Heavenly Embryo". I don't want a collection of separate stories; I'd like one continuous plot.
Looking for Horror Novels. The Scarier the Better, Preferably Pure Horror
Everyone’s welcome to submit recommendations! So many horror novels start out scary and then turn into adventures or something. I hope you can recommend some genuine horror novels. The scarier, the better. Ideally, they’ll leave you feeling terrified and chilled to the bone.

Looking for Supernatural Mystery Stories About Ghost Hunting and Fortune-Telling With a Powerful Protagonist!
I'm looking for books similar to Strange Exorcist: My Doll Can Really Manifest. The protagonist has to be strong! They need to have the right values! I don't want to read about a protagonist who's constantly pushed around or made stupid. I also don't want one who starts out as a total weakling and slowly grows stronger. That kind of story is too frustrating! I'm okay with it starting out...
Looking for Horror Stories That Make Your Scalp Tingle
Looking for stories like "Three Corpses Speak". Any recommendations for something truly terrifying that doesn't turn into cultivation at the end? I want grounded horror, set in places like hospitals, rooms, or dorms.

Extremely Scary Books, the Kind That Make Your Legs Weak Even in Broad Daylight. I Want Strong Immersion

The story is intricately woven and very interesting. The author's writing is steady and delicate, without piling up flowery language or deliberately sensationalizing. The details of environmental description, psychological portrayal, actions and expressions are handled precisely and effectively, and the author can create a strong emotional impact with just a few strokes.
I stumbled upon this wonderful book; the plot twists and turns, and it gets more exciting as you read on. The baby lamp reminded me of the infant bone tower in my hometown, the red and white snake spirits, the seven-year period of Yin Sha… This Mr. Zhang is hilarious! It's just a bit frustrating that it's not finished yet. Author, please update soon…
I'm speechless after reading this! You wrote so incredibly well, I'm going to follow you forever! It's so captivating! Is the author a genius? How can they write so amazingly?! I love it! Update soon!!!
It looks great, I like it, and it suits my taste.
The author is very humorous and seems to have read a lot and experienced a lot. The descriptions are incredibly realistic. I've gotten over being unafraid of the dark, but author, you know what? I'm even more afraid now, especially at home. 🙂
The writing style is skillful, captivating, and vividly descriptive. The traditional Taoist practices and scriptures have clear origins, and the local customs and dialects are relatable. This is a rare gem of a piece, and we eagerly await more uploads from the author.
Can I ask the author for compensation? I was terrified after reading the author's novel.
It's quite scary. Such a terrifying novel, yet the writing is smooth and the plot is clear and engaging. Author, keep up the good work, it will only get better!
