Ghost Stories from Bhutan

by Lingchen Dorji

High in the mountains of Bhutan, the wind doesn't just blow - it carries voices. In remote villages, along empty roads, and inside centuries-old temples, strange things still happen.

Ghost Stories from Bhutan gathers stories from across the country, told with the quiet dread of people who vanished, of things that still wait, and of places best left alone.

Whether it’s a blessing gone wrong in The Annual Blessing, the echoes of The Singing Nun of Animo Gonpa, or the woman who wouldn’t stop weeping near Mochugang, these stories will leave you looking over your shoulder long after the last page.

Well that was quite nice. It had quite a vibe like stories told around the campfire, about ghosts and supernatural things haunting you. It was creepy and the stories were short, it also had quite the typical asian vibe. I would've said chinese, but after googling some of the words in the book, i now know that Bhutan is actually a kingdom. I thought it was a province of China, welp. You never stop learning.

The only thing that would have made the book better, would be some sort of explanation for some of the words - what a chorten is, or what the food is some of them are eating. Stuff like that, because I'm really curious about this.

Chilling and beautifully written.The stories strike a perfect balance between local superstition and universal fear.Highly recommended for fans of slow-burn horror.

Some of these stories stayed with me days after I read them.One or two stories were more folklore than horror, but overall, a great read for dark, stormy nights. Bravo to the author!
