“I didn’t believe in such things. I believed in facts, science and, every once in a while, human beings.”
Ed Lin, Ghost Month

“It was the hottest day in July, and the island’s humidity was draped over me like a mourning veil, yet my body went cold and sweaty. Even my skin was crying.”
Ed Lin, Ghost Month

“EVERY PAPER RECEIPT IN Taiwan is a lottery ticket for cash prizes from the government. It’s the Ministry of Finance’s way of ensuring that people ask for receipts for their purchases. When the QR codes are scanned for lottery winnings, they create electronic trails of taxable income that can be checked against businesses that try to cheat.”
Ed Lin, Death Doesn't Forget
