The elders always say that there are yin and yang taboos that cannot be touched everywhere in the countryside. Those strange things that are passed down by word of mouth are never bluffing gossip.
In the farmhouse in northern Anhui in the 1990s, a woman answered her late mother-in-law's call in the middle of the night, and the cold air entered the house and gave her nightmares every night; the obstetrics and gynecology department was demolished and abandoned, and the night guard picked up a pair of blood-soaked red embroidered shoes. A deserted mountain village seals a dark well, young people are greedy for treasures and pry open huge rocks, and a red-dressed bride at the bottom of the well traps and kills lost passers-by; in a northern mountain village, on the Broken Soul Road, medicinal collectors return home at night and encounter a headless Yinzi walking at night carrying a coffin; supernatural incidents in abandoned houses; those supernatural incidents passed down from the older generation...
Behind every strange thing, there is a dusty past and unsolvable obsessions. Ordinary people who have no intention of breaking the folk customs are forced to face the ghosts that have been wandering for hundreds of years. They visit the rural elders who know the secrets of yin and yang and hold ancient rituals to resolve their grievances. But some resentments are so deeply rooted that even if the immediate disaster is over, they will still leave lingering and strange traces deep in the mountains, old houses, and ancient wells.
This book collects local supernatural legends from East Asia (including Hong Kong and Taiwan), Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia. It is a non-bloody curiosity. It uses rural customs and old times to foreshadow horror. It uses the environment, dreams, and folk rumors to create a depressing and weird atmosphere, and tells the regrets and causes and consequences of the separation of yin and yang.
