# India’s Most Haunted by K. Hari Kumar

As a child, I have always been fascinated by mystery and horror. My mom was after my life to skip watching horror movies and serials as I used to fear in dreams. But, you are **born with certain preferences **that only grow with time. Like, CID has taught me a lot all through these years on how the forensic team works. Well, coming back to the present, this genre fascination has passed on to my daughter too. Now we are a team whenever we are on a book hunt and what's better than book fairs? This 2020, on a freezing Jan morning with no sun around and a little drizzle, we both browsed through the mesmerizing smell of books. That's when she pointed to a dark book cover and I read it's title aloud " India's Most Haunted by K. Hari Kumar". We turned the book to check out the blurb.

## Do titles like 'Haunted' need a blurb?

My answer is No. When I come across this word, I instantly want to buy the book. No matter what the blurb is, I just check the cover and the next thing is I am paying for that book. Something interesting happened with this book too. As soon as, I read the title, I was convinced to buy the book because of two things. Primarily, **it was based out of India and it said real stories. **I thought I can relate to both things. After that as a ritual, I checked the blurb. It talked about Bhangarh Fort and I discussed with my daughter that we have visited this fort while we spent 2 days in Sariska. I was excited to know what the author has to say about this fort and is it contradictory to what I have heard when I visited the place?

## K. Hari Kumar needs no introduction

You won't believe me but by now I didn't even realize who is the author of this book. When I read his name, I agreed upon the fact that he is an Indian writer who must have understood the stories and written the book. I started reading the book and instantly got connected to the author as well. Now, I wanted to know more about him. I searched him on social platforms and came to know that he's already a star writer. His social presence and promotions of his book interested me more. This is when the author got another loyal follower and that's me!

## Why do I recommend this book without a second thought?

- All the stories are short and crisp. It just takes 7-10 min to finish a story.- They don't burden you to finish the book at once just because you started.- You will enjoy reading 2 or 3 stories back to back when you want to relax and spark your brain with some real stories.- The phrase 'real stories' always interests a reader.- Horror stories don't have a perfect ending. In fact, they don't have an ending. You read the last lines, think about it a little and move on to the next story.- If one of the places is the same as you visited, you involve more deeply with that story. There comes a contradiction of reasoning because every narrator has a different perspective on the same situation.- The book title and cover design insist reader buy the book.- His work speaks of his creativity more than his popularity. In fact, his storytelling will force you to search more about him and not the other way round.
