You Won’t Find This During the Day: One Ghost Story Every Day 白天刷不到:每天一个诡故事
I’m a horror writer who publishes online. I have no fame and no income, so I can only grab people’s attention by writing the most sinister, unsettling, and realistic stories. To make them feel “real,” I’m used to grounding my characters in details from the real world: real streets, real neighborhoods, real outfits, and real little gestures. I always thought a novel was just a novel. That is, until the serial killer I wrote stepped out of my story and found me in the real world.
