⭐️⭐️⭐️ — Decent, but Not Memorable



Gods & Ghosts of the Himalayas has a great premise and an intriguing cultural backdrop, but the execution falls short. While the stories have a few atmospheric moments, they never quite deliver the level of suspense or horror you might expect—especially if you're a seasoned horror reader.

The pacing was the biggest drawback for me. Many stories felt overly stretched with unnecessary details, which slowed down the momentum and diluted the impact.

Overall, it’s an okay read with interesting folklore elements, but not a standout in the horror genre.
