![]() ![]() That first visit to the Ten Courts of Hell truly sparked my interest in anything and everything related to the Chinese afterlife. Each court deals with different sins and punishments, and it’s only after an offending soul suffers for its crimes - examples of punishments include being thrown on spikes, boiled in oil, or sawed in half - that it can be reincarnated or sent to paradise. So what are the Ten Courts of Hell? According to Chinese mythology, souls must enter these courts to be judged for the sins they committed in the land of the living. I first entered its dark depths in August 2006, and remember recoiling in horror when I saw a few bloody scenes you can view here. ![]() This particular hell is located at Haw Par Villa, Singapore. Before I start the book review, I’d like to bring you all to hell. ![]()
