Description
In the fictional Chinese city of Yong'an, an unnamed amateur cryptozoologist embarks on a quest to document the city's myriad of strange and wondrous beasts. Through a series of interconnected tales, the narrator encounters creatures both terrifying and oddly familiar, from sacrificial beasts to those that embody ancient myths and folklore. This collection offers a unique blend of the fantastical and the mundane, exploring themes of memory, transformation, and the hidden lives that exist just beyond our perception. Yan Ge masterfully weaves together these captivating narratives, creating a world that is both dreamlike and deeply resonant.
