Rooted in the vast countryside and ancient walled cities, Chinese-style uncanny tales dredge up forgotten horror from folk legends and street-corner gossip. Beneath an old locust tree in a deserted village, amid the shadows of an opera stage, deep inside an ancestral hall, each story tears through the fabric of everyday life to reveal the supernatural truth. There is an innocent bride given to the mountain god, a paper effigy that comes to claim lives at midnight, a cursed family genealogy... But true fear does not come from demons and monsters. It lies in the obsessions buried deep in people’s hearts, the taboos of local customs, and the inescapable fate woven by karma and reincarnation. Welcome to the shadowy realm of Chinese horror.
