Please give me some recommendations. I have nothing left to read. My main account is gone, and after five years of reading novels, I have already read most of the good ones on Tomato. This is an epic reading drought.

Highly recommended, it's a great listen. Rooted in traditional Chinese rural settings—old houses, villages, customs, taboos, weddings and funerals, and local legends—it blends old sayings, folklore, and local ghost stories. Unlike Western zombies or Japanese and Korean vengeful spirits, its uniquely Chinese chilling, eerie, and down-to-earth horror is its biggest highlight. The scenes are close to Chinese life, making the reader feel far more immersed than in fantastical horror.
Absolutely brilliant, a terrifying story with plot twists, I loved it!
A rare gem of a locally adapted supernatural work. The inherent horror is palpable, and the writing is superb. Highly recommended! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
1. The rural setting is chilling, revealing human nature more terrifying than ghosts. The plot twists are shocking, leaving a lingering, unsettling feeling that grows ever more chilling with each thought. 2. A mysterious ancient village hidden deep in the mountains, haunted by vengeful spirits, where evil hearts reside; the thrilling ending is heart-wrenching.
It revolves around folk tales and legends, with a dramatic plot and rich, engaging content.
I highly recommend everyone give this a listen, it's really good. I love listening to these kinds of scary folk tales at night, 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
It includes all sorts of strange and unusual stories, with a clever concept and a good overall reading experience.
Combining local legends with a tight plot, the story is highly immersive.
A collection of anecdotes, strung together in a consistent style, makes for a book worth reading.
Based on strange folk tales, the narrative is natural, and the details are vividly portrayed.
