    Reader note

    I've recently become obsessed with Chinese folk horror, so I'm recommending three books of different genres. *Meishan Release of the Underworld*: Short stories, fast-paced, perfect for reading in one go. The concept of releasing the underworld in Xiangxi is fresh, the atmosphere is excellent, and it doesn't drag on. *The Underworld Walker: The Last Incense Stick*: This one is the most unique. The protagonist is a sound collector who uses recordings and spectral analysis to uncover the "confessions of the dead." Each horror scene has a real-world explanation, but there's always one unexplained element. It's not a wish-fulfillment story; it requires some thought. Volume 1 is complete, and Volume 2 is being updated. *Heavenly Tribulation Patrol Division*: Leaning towards Eastern fantasy, it follows the theme of the Heavenly Dao and its order, different from the previous two folk horror books. A good alternative. None of these three books involve cultivation; those who enjoy Chinese horror should give them a try.
