Our book-club's BOTM! I love this book! I mean it's so gripping! Creepy! Weird! It reminds of childhood horror stories where we used to sit in a circle and tell eachother stories. When there's no power and it's raining outside with thunder and lightning, horror stories are perfect for that sort of weather!

Did anyone watch Darna mana hai? These stories reminded me of that! Creepy, weird!!!! Oh god!
It wasn't scary though.. ! Maybe if I was alone in my room and read it at night I would've been scared but I read these stories sleeping next to mom! So I wasn't a little bit scared.

These stories are interconnected, I found them confusing here and there trying to make connections! These connections made it more interesting. And I was excited to read more of these stories! The first story was enough to draw my attention... I was kinda reluctant to read this because I had a bad relationship with the author's memory police. While reading that book I fell asleep a lot so I stopped reading it but after finishing this one successfully I'm gonna try to pick up more of this author's books!
