    For readers suffering from a reading slump and with a penchant for local, eerie, and supernatural tales, *Tianxuan Supernatural Affairs Agency* is a must-read. The author delves into untold stories and anecdotes from various regions, buried deep within the mouths of elders, seamlessly blending classic Chinese horror elements: haunted houses, eerie rituals in deserted villages, and strange tales from the streets. In a dilapidated old house, the door opens inexplicably, a dark shadow wanders within, and the residents are haunted by ghosts every night. In a secluded village, clinging to feudal customs, strange events occur at certain times, and the villagers are slowly succumbed to an invisible curse. Even in bustling cities, dark corners lurk, evil spirits mingling with the crowds, exploiting human desires to wreak havoc. Master Ma, with his profound experience, uses his Taoist magic to exorcise all kinds of evil spirits. His two disciples traverse the realms of the living and the dead; occasional humorous banter cannot diminish the chilling atmosphere that permeates the entire book—one moment they're laughing and joking, the next they're in deadly danger. With its clear episodic narrative structure, each story is complete and well-developed, with no bad chapters, no dragging, and stable updates. It's full of atmosphere and is an excellent choice for curing a ghost story drought.
