Hong Kong – Les Chroniques de l'étrange

Hong Kong – The Chronicles of the Uncanny Hong Kong. A metropolis of nearly ten million inhabitants, ultramodern and frenetic. A city whose streets are still haunted by ancient spirits and Chinese demons, where ethereal ghosts roam along the quays, within which lie vast spiritual realms ruled by dragon kings. Hong Kong. A city rooted in the past and looking to the future, where the most avant-garde technology meets ancient traditions, whose tall glass skyscrapers overlook Confucian temples and Buddhist monasteries, where money is revered like the celestial gods. Hong Kong. A kingdom defended by the fat si: practitioners of the Chinese mystical arts who defend the celestial order by ensuring the balance between the profane world and the supernatural society. Seers, exorcists, geomancers or alchemists, they use their ancestral techniques to fight hungry monsters, help lost ghosts to reincarnate and negotiate with ancient animal spirits – according to the will of the gods. And you are one of those fat si. Translated from the back of the book.
