Book Review- The Disappearance Of Tejas Sharma… And Other Hauntings

Horror and supernatural genera has fascinated people around the globe since ages. Undoubtedly short stories of the supernatural have been a great entertainment. Talking about Manish Mahajan’s book, there are twelve stories which discuss the supernatural in different plots and themes.

Beginning with the narration, the stories stand strong and powerful. A very lucid flow has been maintained with the text, which makes a reader develop interest as he proceeds further, thus making him more engrossed. The language is quite powerful, that the magic which a supernatural genera author creates to intensify terrible feelings.

The stories really bring out real horror, it all seems to move on naturally, and that’s the best part of the book. The author is completely acquainted with the reader’s imaginations, as some of the stories like Begunkodor Ghost Station, Her Unkempt Promise, The secret in the Photograph, Burn the old Papers and The Disappearance of Tejas Sharma are really chilling and Spooky. They are brilliantly crafted. As a reader proceeds with these stories he gets into a complete vacuum and begins to explore the deepest form of horror. The rest of the stories are also fine.

However I must point out two things; one is the price- it’s should have been a bit low. Secondly about the story ‘The Valley Of The Dead- it was good but I think it lacked a story-like form.

However these can be ignored as the book is really brilliant and gives the readers, a real feeling of the supernatural. Looking forward for your upcoming books.

Cheers!
