I don’t want horror that’s purely about ghosts and monsters. I want horror caused by people, like the terrifying scenes in Stealing Faces and Ashtray, which are all human-made.

"Mysteries on the Road"｜A masterpiece of folk suspense drama! The writer, Lin Sui, does not have a psychic eye, nor can he draw talismans and recite incantations. He only relies on a pen and his survival instinct to travel to countryside, cities, deserted villages, and ancient temples, recording each and every shady folk custom. The whole book adheres to the iron rule of "only witnessing, only recording, not breaking the situation, not transcending". It does not forcefully rewrite destiny, and does not save the world. Every story has a real sense of suffocation: the bad habit of extending life in a remote mountain village, and the immortality of a century-old house. The solitary lamp, the 13th floor that appeared out of thin air in the midnight corridor, the guide ghost who guides passers-by on the rainy night mountain road, the voice of the neighbor next door that automatically sounds in the rental house late at night, the taboo of no turning back during the evening self-study on campus, the dead soul waving at the dry well in the deserted village every night... From rural old houses to abandoned urban towns, from deep mountains and dense forests to the border between Yin and Yang, each unit is terrifying to contemplate, and the atmosphere is immediately full. It has great stamina, so be cautious if you are timid!
