THE NIGHTMARE ATLAS: ANCIENT CREATURES AND FORGOTTEN HORRORS FROM OLD CONTINENT: BOOK 2 : Asia

THE NIGHTMARE ATLAS: ANCIENT CREATURES AND FORGOTTEN HORRORS FROM THE OLD CONTINENT - BOOK 2: Asia is a collection of fifteen horror short stories inspired by Asian folklore. Each chapter is structured as a diptych: an origin story, faithful to ethnographic and historical sources, followed by a modern short story that extends the myth into a specific contemporary setting. From the Japanese Yūrei to the Tibetan Rolang, by way of the Philippine Aswang, the Thai Krasue, and the Vietnamese Ma Da, this volume explores fifteen documented supernatural traditions across Asia. The creatures are real in their folklore. The human protagonists who encounter them are fictional. The boundary between the two is always clear, always deliberate. A scholarly appendix at the end of the volume details the primary and secondary sources used for each story.
