Features: Horror is this simple—people come and go without reason, in the cycle of life and death, those who understand become Buddhas. When they turn back, they have already told us all the secrets, but we don’t understand. So it remains terrifying. Zhou Dedong’s horror lies in this: it quietly gnaws at your fear, not ghosts, not criminals, not aliens, not any external thing, but yourself. His horror doesn’t need explanation. In the silence of the world, under the lonely lamp of a long night, when you gasp for breath, that breath chills you to the bone, and horror arrives.
