The Midnight Revenants: Asian Ghost Stories—Revenge Thrillers & Paranormal Romance

Rate this book
“Between the lines lie doorways; step through one careless metaphor and you’ll leave footprints in worlds that have no exit.”

The Midnight Revenants is a gripping collection of ten Asian horror stories, skillfully weaving together supernatural revenge, suspenseful crime thrillers, and haunting paranormal romance. Each tale is rooted in real, undocumented legends from India, China, Japan, and Nepal—vividly brought to life through lucid, dramatic narration that makes reading feel like watching a series of captivating horror films.

Embark on a chilling haunted streets of Delhi, Ganga ghat and a crumbling haveli in Varanasi, mysterious Himalayan trails, a remote monastery in Nepal, an abandoned graveyard, a haunted ship adrift in Pacific, eerie Shanghai apartments, a medieval estate in Jiangxi, and shadow-filled alleys in Japan steeped in urban legends. Everyday objects—a simple ring, a bead necklace, a porcelain doll—become sinister symbols that bridge realms of the living and the dead.

Encounter a sinister college library at midnight, a necklace orchestrating supernatural vengeance, and a cargo ship turned into a vessel for the wrath of a revengeful spirit. Experience the anguish of a new bride haunted by her predecessor, the secrets of a medieval bronze mirror trapping a concubine’s soul, and the transformation of a playful girl into a porcelain doll. Even the purest motherly love takes on a terrifying edge.

Ordinary things become sources of paranoia, each holding its secrets. The stories create a subtle yet powerful dread, drawing you into an insidious fear that lingers beneath everyday reality.

These revenants return, driven by unfinished promises, unfulfilled revenge, or unresolved pain and love. Each tale blends our day-to-day world with supernatural dimensions, making you not just read, but live every haunting experience.

Perfect for fans of Asian horror, paranormal romance, J-horror, haunted ships, and supernatural crime thrillers, The Midnight Revenants promises an unforgettable journey.

By the time you close the cover, even a harmless clock in the corner could seem like a sentinel from the other side—and the night may feel a little too quiet.

Buy now to experience "The Midnight Revenants" if you crave a collection of scary stories that feels both intimate and real.

But be once you invite these ghosts in, they may never fully leave.
