   Rejecting the oppressive and abusive protagonist! This Taoist master-disciple supernatural novel is both terrifying and addictive. Strange and bizarre events occur throughout the city; while others flee in panic upon encountering ghosts, the master and his two disciples proactively seek out and exorcise the evil spirits.

He resolves terrifying and bizarre situations involving human skin, ghost marriages, and water ghosts, while simultaneously crushing evil spirits with orthodox Taoist methods. The balance between horror and exhilaration is perfect. If you're looking for a supernatural read, this is the book for you.
