Raise the Red Lantern: Three Novellas by Michael S. Duke, Su Tong

3.0

---

I think I will always love the film more, but the novella Raise the Red Lantern is also creepily beautiful. They are eerie in different ways, but both have a similar air. The novella builds a sense of dread in a quiet, yet masterful way. The other two novellas are also good, but neither rises to the level of Raise the Red Lantern.
