The Crowned Dancer
Everyone has secrets—but don’t think that just because they’re secrets, no one will ever find out.
Protect your life, and stop trusting those around you before the shadows close in!
When Techit and Chompoo choose a house far from the city as their honeymoon home, only Chompoo senses something strange the moment she steps inside. She often feels someone pacing around the bed on stormy nights. The eerie sound of the traditional Nang Hong orchestra drifting on the wind sends chills down her spine. And when she’s watching TV downstairs, she hears footsteps running upstairs—even though she’s home alone!
Chompoo is convinced… their new home is haunted! And as friends in her circle die one by one in gruesome ways, her nerves unravel more and more. What she doesn’t know is that the secret she’s kept buried for years is about to be exposed—and something is coming to take its revenge!
One of Pakinai’s most famous works, adapted into a drama.

Deadly Doll Island
Believe it or not, every doll has a soul…
Whatever is done to it, it will come back to haunt you with a gruesome fate!
When a human dies, their body is buried underground.
But what about dolls that their owners have abandoned? Where do they go…?
The Island of Dead Dolls exists as a place to discard dolls that owners no longer play with.
Pascal, the wealthy founder of the island, believes
that every doll has life when loved by its owner,
but when the love fades, it’s no different from a dead doll.
Leva, a young real estate agent, is contacted by Murphy, Pascal’s heir.
He wants Leva to sell the island.
The promise of a huge commission tempts Leva,
but the island is filled with the haunting presence of thousands of dolls.
Look left and you see them…
Look right and they’re there…
Even up in the trees…
More terrifying than the haunted doll island itself
is the wicked story hidden within.
The Case of the Elevator Corpse
Pang has just started her new job as a librarian at the Faculty of Medicine’s library.
The eerie atmosphere and strange happenings fill her with fear.
But nothing is scarier than learning that the building’s elevator was the site of a student’s death—
and everyone in the faculty calls it the “haunted elevator.”
Pang doesn’t want to believe in curses,
yet terrifying spirits continue to haunt her.
Everyone keeps silent when she tries to uncover the past,
so she decides to investigate the mystery on her own.
The more she discovers about the past, the more terrified she becomes.
But if she backs down, the mysterious spirit will show no mercy.
The only way to survive is to unravel the complex truth—
unaware that someone is hiding a surgical knife behind her back,
waiting for her to slip up… ready to strike.
A chilling, complex mystery beloved by readers,
this is the masterpiece from #Pakinai
that will keep you awake for many nights.
