Hold That Breath
Abhirup Dhar
Pages: 132



                ‘Hold That Breath’ by Abhriup Dhar is a collection of 6 Horror stories each story is further divided into several chapters.

                The cover page of the book is very interesting and is related to one of the story from the book. It will surely arouse interest in the mind of the readers. The cover suits the overall theme of the book i.e. horror.

                Each story written will surely keep the readers on the edge of their seat and make them ponder what is to happen next. While reading some of the stories I was actually shocked and gave me shivers to know what has actually happened. Each story has a mysterious and horror elements to it which makes the stories interesting to read.

                The characters in each story are very relatable. We as human have that curiosity about the other world and if we are told not to do so we are sure to do that only. This factor has been well covered throughout the book. I enjoyed each and every character of the book.

                The plot of each story has been well thought and some stories would even make you wonder when did this happen? Overall the plot is very interesting and mysterious. The pace of the stories is perfect neither too fast nor too slow.

                The book is written in a simple and lucid language. The readers can easily cover the book in one sitting. Overall I enjoyed reading this book a lot. Looking forward to read more from this author.

My Rating: 5/5

Dancers in the Dark Author: Ejaz Ahamed Pages: 298               After reading this book, the very first thing that came to my mind was, ‘Is there humanity?’ If yes what is humanity? This was a very emotional read for me. The story revolves around Kalki, her brother Karthi, and Shreyas whom we will meet later in the story.
