    If we're talking about horror, *Three Corpses' Tale* is okay; it's folk horror, and the grandfather's inability to close his mouth at the beginning really startled me. However, it might have some flaws, as it has a female lead, and the protagonist is a somewhat weak, old-fashioned type. But I really like Zhang Hazi. If you like that, you can check out his later books, like *The Yin-Yang Ghost Craftsman*. *Fourteen Years of Ghost Hunter* isn't that scary, but it's quite realistic, suitable for those who like folk supernatural stories but aren't very brave; this one is autobiographical. *Young Taoist Master* is one I recently read. It's not too scary, but many of the things described are similar to folk customs I've encountered, like gold picking. What I find scary is that it makes me think about things in my own life. This one might also have some flaws, namely that it leans towards a two-male relationship.
