How about some horror stories for wintery nights? 👻💀☠️
In Odiya dialect Bhoota Gappa means Ghost Stories.
Bhoota Gappa by Pratiksha Misra is a collection of ghost stories that will give you chills and keep you hooked till the end.
The book is inspired by the rich culture of Odisha and takes us back to the days when stories were shared around family gatherings.
The book has seven short stories in each volume, with a bigger story running alongside them. This bigger story connects the characters from the shorter ones, making it exciting to read. The stories are about ghosts, spirits, and black magic, making them both scary and fascinating.
I feel what makes this book special is how real it feels. Many stories come from true events or experiences shared by the author’s family, which adds a personal touch.
The writing is simple and creates a strong picture of the places and events, making you feel like you are there.
The author dedicates the book to her grandmother, who inspired her love for storytelling.
This makes the book not just about ghosts but also about family, culture, and memories. I really liked the writing style of it. Very fresh concept and unique plots!
