This is a hard-core novel that "uses a scalpel to dissect the supernatural and uses pathology to fight fear." It has the rationality and coldness of "The Three-Body Problem", the folk horror of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and the aesthetics of body alienation like "Bloodborne". If you are a fan of hardcore thrillers, urban ghost stories, and the Cthulhu Mythos, and if you like stories with strict logic and novel settings, then "The Out of Order Files" is definitely worth reading. It can give you a wonderful experience of watching a mixture of "Pacific Rim" + "Hannibal" + "Lord of the Mysteries".
