“Living and dying is a part of life, and since Nasir never gave much thought to dying, it seemed to allow him to live. This freedom set him free from stress amd everyday worries”

My first Horror book of this year, i’m not a fan of fiction horror but this book is good. Written by “bule” doesn’t make it seems superficial, the author has deep understanding on Indonesian mythology and supernatural powers. The best part this is not only all about horror and hysterical stories, it has love story and adventure journey to the unknown, which makes you want to finish the book as soon as possible.
The author incorporate moral of the story which useful for everyone. I can see this book will be liked in Indo market.
