Ghost Gate of the Seventh Month

Twenty years ago, a village deep in the mountains was sealed off. More than a hundred people died in a single night. The official records blamed a flash flood.

Lin Yan was the only survivor of that disaster.

His life is a debt pledged to the Ghost Gate.

Every Ghost Festival, the wronged spirits of those killed that year follow his scent back to collect what they are owed.

Ghosts were never the true perpetrators. The real executioners were the evil intentions of the living, hidden in the human world.

One year, on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, Lin Yan returned to the abandoned village.

Paper laid the road, paper figures took the place of the living, and a hundred ghosts stood silently by the roadside, waiting.

The lies that had deceived heaven for twenty years and the blood debts of the past would be exposed one by one on the night the Ghost Gate swung wide open.

Folk taboos, karma and reincarnation, and one sealed case after another slowly emerge as the Ghost Gate opens for the Festival of the Hungry Ghosts.
