I’m looking for fantasy novels with a mystical feel, usually involving sorcerers, Taoist magic, and the like. They should feel both distant from and close to everyday life: strange things that happen in our world are actually caused by things we can’t see.

I won't say anything after watching them. I really don't need to say much about these movies. You can tell by looking at the ratings. The subject matter is novel, and The House is the first one I've come across with this kind of twist theme. It's so cool, suspenseful and imaginative, and it's super fun to watch.

"Tales of the Corpse" promised me that I must read it, it's really good. Needless to say, Ten Days Ending is a masterpiece with a score of 9.9. The fifth and sixth books are by the same author. Although the two books have bugs, they are connected. The story is very touching, and the emotional drama personally feels a bit stretched. It is recommended to watch the two books in order, they are very interesting.

Of course I choose this one! ! ! I came across this book during a book drought, and I thought I had found a savior, but it turned out to be the source of my nightmares.

There is no need to say more about The Three Corpses, everyone knows it. It is very exciting and cannot be stopped. The second book is not rated high, but it really shouldn't be rated this way. In many horror novels, the protagonist usually has no ability or little ability. This book directly puts the perspective of a strong person, and he becomes stronger and more self-reliant every time. Highly recommended.

Needless to say, they are all of the Three Corpse Language type. Especially the first one is as good-looking as Three Corpse Language. You will definitely like it! You won't be at a loss if you read one chapter. The second or third books are also very good. They are all about Taoism and so on. They are Chinese horror novels. It is recommended to read [Shy] at night. The Midnight Steamed Bun Shop is also very good.

These two are the best horror novels in my opinion, bar none. The first book is not just pure horror. The protagonist is growing up step by step. The protagonist is not cold-hearted, but he is not a holy father either. Some plots may even make me cry. I only read this book when I saw it on Kuaishou. Behind the protagonist He is dead, but he is a kind man after death. Haha, nothing can hurt him. He is really good-looking. You must look good. Don't make me beg you. The protagonist of the second book has a high IQ, but he is also scary. And the protagonist is not the Holy Father. He has his own judgment and strength. The quarrel is good to watch. You must read it.
