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.

A knock on the door late at night, no one visible through the peephole, but a note left quickly – the opening scene is brimming with Chinese-style horror. The plot is fast-paced and engaging, and the first-person narration draws the viewer in completely.
This is truly a fantastic book in the supernatural genre. The character development is stronger than many other supernatural novels; the protagonist is responsible, kind, and decisive. The writing is logical, and the foreshadowing is well-resolved. Moreover, the setting is novel for this type of novel.
Paper dolls haunt the dead, blood-stained rubbings terrify the soul—the author, from the perspective of a librarian, crafts a gripping tale of folk horror and existential crisis. The fast-paced, oppressive atmosphere, with each chapter brimming with hidden danger, sends chills down the spine.
Is the book bad? Why isn't anyone commenting? 😫
This is terrifying! How do we break this deadlock?
It's good, scary, I'm both afraid and want to watch it 😅😅😅
The Chinese-style horror is off the charts! The plot is tight and fast-paced, combining folk tales and supernatural events with a survival crisis. Hidden dangers lurk in the details, keeping your palms sweating throughout – it's incredibly addictive!
This is a great picture of a cat! It has the feel of a horror story!
A rare supernatural horror novel. Forgive me for being a noob who loves to play games and read, but the novel has a strong sense of horror and a unique concept. It's worth recommending!
