Do you think you know horror? In China, horror isn't a face that suddenly jumps out at you. It's your own reflection in the mirror late at night—and it smiles back. Welcome to Bureau 749, Archive Declassification Division. The cases handled here can't be explained by any FBI textbook. Mike Chen, a Chinese-American former profiler, arrives in China armed with Western logic. His partner, Lin Mo, appears to be a calm folklore expert—but beneath the surface, she knows the blood and tears behind every taboo. Together, they'll take you into 20 stories adapted from real folk horrors: A wedding dress from the Qing Dynasty. Every full moon, it stands in front of the mirror—by itself. A bowl of rice with chopsticks stuck upright. It makes your empty table seats fill with "people." A weasel stands on its hind legs and asks you: "Do I look human... or divine?" A single glance back over your shoulder can extinguish the flame on it—and let something in. Each chapter is a standalone story. Each one is rooted in real Chinese folk taboos—rules you break, but can never apologize your way out of. Warning: This isn't ordinary horror. There are no killers with knives here. Only the most everyday things around you: mirrors, elevators, food delivery, live streams, chopsticks... and then, slowly, something goes wrong. If you're brave enough, open this book. But remember: In China, we don't just "believe" in ghosts. We respect them. Because every broken rule—has a price. Perfect for readers who enjoy: The Tag-Along, Kwaidan, or anyone interested in Eastern folklore, urban legends, and psychological horror. Note: Contains culturally sensitive elements and intense psychological horror. Proceed with caution if you're easily spooked.
