Features: A new concept horror novel, the pioneering work of contemporary Chinese horror fiction, and a classic that sparked the trend of horror novel creation in China! Women's faces bear some evil and inauspiciousness to varying degrees. Among countless face shapes in a crowd, there is one kind of woman's face that signifies true evil. When it appears beside you, it brings misfortune and disaster. Their obvious signs are: moles behind the ears, high cheekbones, downturned mouths, and eyebrows spaced farther apart than usual. The Face is a rather mature work. It has enough horror atmosphere, enough love story elements, enough rich imagination, and enough realistic details. In terms of language narration, it is fluent and idiomatic, effectively combining witty spoken Beijing dialect with clever written language, captivating readers and leaving them wanting more. Especially in plot setup, the attitudes of two generations of father and son towards love, their extraordinary emotional experiences, and the "father's debt to be repaid by the son" revenge pattern are particularly engaging. Especially, the methods of ghosts and villains in the book are quite challenging, making it technically impossible for teenagers in the human world to imitate or simulate them. As a result, those anxious parents need not worry about their children reading a "bad book." Ding Tian's The Face may have sent out a signal: perhaps China's Stephen Kings are among this generation of young writers.

The novels I like should have an impenetrable narrative, and they should also tell a strange story. The world seems to stand still, only your heartbeat, the sound of blood flowing, and the faint sound of your breathing remain. At this moment, the climax of reading arrives. Any sound from the outside world will disturb you—such as a sudden ringing phone or the footsteps of a stranger in the hallway. These ordinary sounds will cause your heart to suddenly contract, and it will take a long time to calm down. This is an era when the soul needs comfort, so horror novels must emerge to make the empty souls even emptier. This is an era that constantly needs emotional substitutes for venting, so horror novels are even more necessary. Horror novels can give you a moment of true peace after your agitation.
