2.0 out of 5 stars Rather lacklustre
Reviewed in India on 16 May 2014
Verified Purchase
I liked the premise and this book would have had a lot of potential if Basu had made it truly dark and chilling. But it is rather lacklustre and the atmosphere of small town India in the mid-20th century is not quite built-upon as it should have been. Instead the stories sort of meander and the "ghostliness" doesn't quite reach the full-boil.

I would only recommend this if you have nothing better to read. I really do wonder though why books like these don't get more editorial input from publishers. If a strong, experienced editor had gotten their hands on this material, a better book would have resulted.

So: wasted potential.

Not well written.. Language not at all captivating.. had to leave it midway.. I have seen this problem with many Indian writers, in an attempt to try to wow the readers with their writing they go overboard with the use of flowery language which affects the setting of the context...

4.0 out of 5 stars just enough spookiness; ample dose of Bengali culture; presented by simple characters
Reviewed in India on 23 September 2020
Well crafted stories written in simple language and yet conveys the right mood! A Bengali household comes to mind's eye as we read Kankana various characters talking about their life.
Though all stories are happening within the same family, each has a distinct flavour. The by gone era of zamindars, the parties, big families, the Bengali cuisine and with titbits of history here and there makes the book an interesting read!
In addition each story has a different mood of paranormal activities. Though it may not appeal to the horror story fans, for someone like me who likes a mild spooky story this collection is a sure delight!
