The book is an easy read, and is hardly the kind of gruesome that I was expecting when I picked it up. The prologue of the book starts with a casual chat between Vivek and Faraz as they start telling each other some spooky stories from their respective childhood. ![]() Don’t go near that well because it’s cursed, or there is an old lady in white sari that comes by the graveyard every night and takes away little children that cry too much. I managed to finish the book in two settings, which is testimony to the book being able to retain me. that we have most likely heard growing up. The stories range from spooky to macabre, but mostly dealing with the kind of urban legends, old wives’ tales, etc. Expectedly enough, it has (unlucky) thirteen stories. I got down to reading the book one fine afternoon, and thankfully, rather than being a long gut twisting novel, TOS is a compendium of shorter stories. That being said, the merit of a book is in its ability to retain you while its unfinished, and stay with you once its over. So, when Faraz requested me to review his book, I gave him as much of a disclaimer. I haven’t really read a lot of Stephen King, and/or his imitators. I hardly ever read horror, macabre, spooky and such books. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Leslie is an avid reader with an eye for detail, making her a perfect match for this career.
