ISBN:  979-8895569573 Genre: Horror Publisher: Notion Press Year: 2024 About the Book  Adithya is bitter when he is forced to accept the delivery of an antique bed on behalf of his neighbor. The large and majestic bed occupies his whole bedroom. Every time he sleeps on it, he has nightmares. He dreams about killing different people with whom he had disputes. And at the end of it all, he wakes up devastated, completely drained.

Book Review: The other side by Faraaz Kazi & Vivek Banerjee

Introduction • ISBN : 9789350880760 • Genre: Fiction / Horror/ Paranormal/ Supernatural • Publishers: Mahaveer Publications • Price: Rs. 160/- ( P.S: I got the book from one of the authors for a review ) "A slow rasping sound made me turn. I jumped back, the cell phone leaving my hands and smashing against the concrete floor. Someone was seated on the chair, rocking back and forth. Through the fallen light, I could see those hands placed on the arms of the chair, two gruesome wrinkled limbs with ugly boils plastered over the black skin. The red bangles on its wrists shone in my eyes, momentarily blinding me. That thing and I call it a thing because I could sense it wasn't human as no human could have such a hideous form, as vile an existence as the one seated opposite to my horrified self." From a honeymoon in the hill that goes horribly wrong to an obsessed lover who wants his first love in life and in death; From a mentally deranged man who collects bod...

Book Review: Frankly Spooking by Sriramana Muliya

  Introduction ISBN : 9350297213 Genre: Horror /Fiction Publishers:Harper Collins Price: Rs. 299/- As a reviewer it is a matter of immense pride when I hold a book written by a fellow blogger in my hands for review. It re-affirms my belief that dreams do come true provided you work hard towards achieving them. The author Sriramana or Sri as he is fondly addressed as is one of those bloggers whom I look upto in many ways. And most importantly for the person that he is. Sweet, down to earth, humble and caring. When I first came to know about his book and that too with none other than Harper Collins am not too sure if he did a happy dance as much as I did. I flaunted it to any who understood books, that my friend was getting published with Harper Collins. (Yes!! You need to believe me there. My entire office knowns Mr. Muliya now and has read his book too J ) Needless to say I had pre-ordered it and was waiting to lay my hands on it as his bl...
