Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Truth demands witnesses. Are you ready to testify?Taiwan Case Files - Volume II continues Chang Li Yen's haunting fusion of investigative journalism and literary suspense, unearthing the forgotten crimes and suppressed histories buried in Taiwan's archives. Each story transforms a real unresolved case into a psychological excavation of truth, memory, and conscience-where every discovery opens a darker void beneath.At the heart of this volume stands "Bloodstained Taiyuan: Gunshots in a Silent File," a reconstruction of the 1970 Taiyuan Incident. When journalist-protagonist Chang Chieh-an uncovers his late mentor's secret notebook, he follows a trail through military tribunals, vanished witnesses, and a single missing name on a guard roster that unravels half a century of silence. What begins as an academic inquiry becomes a descent into the ethics of truth itself-an elegy for the era when procedure died and justice died with it.In "The Tainan Blood Case: A Faded Notebook," the narrator inherits his father's unfinished investigation into a 1971 family murder. The deeper he digs, the more he discovers how organized crime, political fear, and bureaucratic indifference erased the truth. Father and son-two generations of reporters-mirror each other across time, both trapped between evidence and erasure. Their parallel notebooks become confessions of futility and devotion: recording as the last act of resistance.Further cases-such as "The Unfinished Puzzle: The Riverside Enigma" and others-extend this anatomy of truth. Dockyard killings, missing files, erased testimonies, and the faint ghosts of Taiwan's martial-law past intertwine with the present-day journalist's relentless pursuit. Each chapter stands alone as a case study in moral corrosion, yet together they form a mosaic of a nation still wrestling with its unspoken wounds.Chang Li Yen writes with the precision of a reporter and the lyricism of a poet. His prose exposes the machinery of power-the courtroom that silences, the record that omits, the news that forgets-while restoring humanity to those consumed by it. Through layered narratives, fictionalized witnesses, and archival fragments, he turns every "unsolved case" into a mirror reflecting the reader's own complicity in forgetting.More than a collection of mysteries, Taiwan Case Files II is an inquiry into the relationship between history and justice, memory and oblivion. It asks: - How much truth can a society endure?- When evidence rots and time distorts, what remains of justice?- And can writing itself become a form of testimony?For readers of historical noir, investigative fiction, and true-crime literature-fans of Memories of Murder, The White Book, or The Tattooer-this volume offers both intellectual rigor and emotional devastation. Each page breathes with the humidity of coastal Taiwan, the rust of forgotten prisons, and the quiet desperation of those who once dared to ask, "Who will care?"About the AuthorChang Li Yen is an investigative journalist turned novelist whose background in Communication Studies informs his distinctive craft-melding factual precision with literary depth. His works dissect Taiwan's modern history through the lens of criminal cases, treating each as a forensic specimen of collective conscience. Critics hail him as "the scalpel that cuts through silence."Key Themes: -Transitional Justice and Martial Law Taiwan-Ethics of Journalism and Memory-Crime, Guilt, and Collective Silence-Father-Son Legacy and Moral Inheritance-The Fragility of Procedure and TruthRichly atmospheric, intellectually fearless, and emotionally piercing, Taiwan Case Files - Volume II transf Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Product Description Truth demands witnesses. Are you ready to testify? In Taiwan Case Files - Volume VII, investigative journalist-turned-novelist Chang Li Yen returns with eleven interwoven stories that peel back the polite skin of modern Taiwan to expose what festers beneath. Each tale is inspired by true events and shaped with surgical precision, where every crime becomes an autopsy of conscience, every death a mirror held to society's decay. Through Chang's unflinching prose, readers confront the places where justice falters, empathy erodes, and the meaning of "truth" is ground between power and guilt. The volume opens with "Nether Pact: The Ghost-Month Classroom," a chilling parable of sexual abuse and institutional betrayal. When a professor's victim dies by suicide and her spirit returns for vengeance, the haunting becomes both supernatural and moral-an indictment of a system that calls predators "clean." The retribution that follows is as meticulous as it is merciless, forcing the living to relive every torment the dead endured. From there, the book descends through Taiwan's layered darkness: "The Knife That Gnaws at the Old" recounts a grandson's drunken rage and the quiet horror of generational neglect in a fishing village where love turns parasitic. "Core-Chip: City Under Siege" explodes into techno-thriller territory, fusing semiconductor espionage, ritualistic killings, and the corrosion of national ambition. Later stories such as "Darknet Lost," "Cuihe Blood Curse," and "Mirror Prison" explore digital sin, occult vengeance, and psychological confinement, forming a lattice of guilt that binds the living and the dead alike.Each case may stand alone, yet together they create a single x-ray of a society anesthetized by progress and haunted by what it refuses to see. Chang's narrative style blends the clinical discipline of reportage with the lyricism of noir. His language gleams like a scalpel: precise, rhythmic, and laced with empathy that cuts deeper than pity. He writes not to glorify evil but to expose the ordinariness of cruelty-the moment a teacher's smile hides predation, a bureaucrat's stamp erases a life, or a grandson's need curdles into murder. Beneath each crime lies a question that resists closure: Who is guilty when everyone looks away? The Book of Shadows, the author's preface, frames the entire series as a "dialogue with time"-a resistance to forgetting. It declares that crime fiction, when grounded in real pain, becomes the final court of memory. For Chang Li Yen, suspense is not a riddle to be solved but a mirror forcing readers to meet their own reflection. "What I write," he confesses, "is not who killed whom, but how we kill ourselves." Across more than four hundred pages, Volume VII continues the Taiwan Case Files of Suspicion saga's evolution from investigative realism to metaphysical indictment. The familiar themes of corrupted institutions, buried trauma, and moral entropy are refined here into a literary anatomy of an island's collective psyche. Ghost stories coexist with courtroom transcripts; folklore bleeds into forensic detail. Each page radiates a slow, terrible beauty-the poetry of evidence and decay. At its core, this book asks a simple, devastating question: when justice fails, does the truth still have a voice? Chang answers by giving that voice to the silenced-the victims, the forgotten, the unnamed-so that their confessions, even whispered through fiction, may disturb our sleep. Readers of Keigo Higashino, Shusaku Endo, or Han Kang will find in Chang Li Yen a kindred craftsman who turns guilt into language and testimony into art. Taiwan Case Files - Volume VII is not merely a crime anthology; it is a moral darkroom where every reader becomes a witness, and every shadow deve Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Book Description In a world that fears the dark, Chang Li Yen writes from within it.Forbidden and Silent: Tales of the Wraith is a collection of thirty haunting short stories that explore the fragile boundary between reason and the unknown, light and shadow, the living and what lingers after. Blending literary craftsmanship with supernatural dread, the book transforms horror into a meditation on memory, silence, and the spaces where humanity meets the inexplicable. Each story is a whisper from the border-subtle, unsettling, and impossible to forget.A mute fisherman hauls from the river a black idol carved with a dead child's smile.An old movie theater reveals its missing thirteenth row, filled with faceless spectators watching a film that never existed.A night watchman discovers abandoned looms weaving again, powered by something more ancient than electricity.And deep in the fog-wrapped mountains, a vanished village breathes through a tea garden that feeds on the souls of its former residents. Through these fragments, Chang builds a secret map of modern Taiwan-a geography of forgotten corners and half-remembered myths. The stories traverse ghostly river towns, abandoned factories, empty subway tunnels, and nameless rural shrines. Each location feels both local and universal, a mirror reflecting humanity's quiet decay beneath progress. His ghosts are not creatures of revenge, but echoes of emotion-love, guilt, obsession, and grief that refuse to fade. Chang's prose is elegant, cinematic, and deeply atmospheric. He writes with a journalist's precision and a poet's restraint, letting dread grow organically from silence. His horror is not loud-it breathes. The tension lies in what remains unsaid: the hum of an unseen machine, the faint vibration behind a wall, the chill of a room that remembers too much. Readers are not simply frightened; they are immersed in a slow, lingering awareness that something beneath the surface is alive and watching. At its core, this book is not about monsters-it is about memory.The unburied past, the unspoken promise, the guilt we inherit and the pain we pretend not to see-all manifest as hauntings. Chang asks: What happens to places and people erased by time? Do their stories truly vanish, or do they persist, reshaping themselves into whispers that call to us in moments of silence? Forbidden and Silent stands at the intersection of ghost story and modern myth, where folklore meets existential dread. It draws from Taiwan's landscape and oral traditions while speaking to the universal human condition-the fear of being forgotten. Each story functions like an archaeological site of emotion, unearthing layers of sorrow, belief, and desire that civilization has tried to bury. Readers will recognize echoes of Shirley Jackson, Haruki Murakami, Han Kang, and Brian Evenson in Chang's measured rhythm and emotional depth. Yet his voice is distinctly his own-quietly compassionate, unsparing, and precise. Beneath every moment of horror lies empathy; beneath every apparition, a human story struggling to be heard. His ghosts are weary rather than wrathful, and their silence carries the weight of centuries. With thirty tales of atmospheric horror and psychological depth, this collection redefines what it means to be haunted. It is not merely about what frightens us, but about what refuses to leave-the traces of lives, loves, and regrets suspended in the air we breathe. In the words of the author: "Fear is the most honest emotion. Writing is how I let honesty speak." Forbidden and Silent: Tales of the Wraith invites readers to listen-to the echoes in the dark, to the breath between words, to the voice of the forgotten. Step carefully, for reading itself is a crossing.Some borders, once passed, remem Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
