Hauntings
Abhirup Dhar has carved out a singular reputation for crafting horror that genuinely unsettles. This collection draws from the casework of the Indian Paranormal Society, the pioneering organisation founded by Gaurav Tiwari in 2009, assembling twelve accounts that blur the line between belief and scepticism. What makes these narratives so arresting is their specificity. You'll encounter apparitions in modern apartment complexes, doppelgängers that materialise within familiar homes, and menacing presences lurking in forgotten corners of small-town India. Each case carries weight, grounded in genuine investigation rather than pure invention. The writing refuses sentimentality. Instead, Dhar presents his material with the detachment of someone documenting what witnesses have experienced, allowing the strangeness to speak plainly. There's an odd intimacy here too—the suggestion that the very walls around us harbour histories we'll never fully comprehend. Whether you're a hardened sceptic or someone already half-convinced of the paranormal, this book demands attention. It taps into something primal: the unsettling realisation that our homes, our streets, our surroundings might contain dimensions we've overlooked. That's where the real horror lies.
