When you possess technology and power beyond your era, you are a god or immortal in the eyes of ordinary people. 2Votes140.5kRecs764.5kFans

That year, in the forgotten lands of the far west, an army seized its chance 1Votes75.5kRecs861.9kFans

A dream of the past rises without warning: beneath the village entrance tree, an old man tells tales. The stories of immortals, ghosts, fox spirits, and mountain monsters that once left children wide-eyed are neither wholly true nor wholly unreal, both eerie and romantic, and still as marvelous as ever. How many have dreamed of traveli 86Votes1MRecs1.3MFans

Recommendations for novels with excellent prose
Tales of the Strange

The list has limited space, so I'll add and remove books as needed.
