3.5/5 एक रोमांचक हॉरर नोवेल्लेट। उम्मीद है लेखक एक उपन्यास भी इस विधा में लिखेंगे। एक बार पढ सकते हैं। अगर आप चाहे तो मेरे पूरे विचार निम्न लिंक पर जाकर पढ़ सकते हैं : वो भयानक रात

इस लघु उपन्यास की कहानी शुरू होती है 4 लोगों के एक परिवार से, जो एक इवेंट से अपने घर जा रहे थे। इत्तेफाक से उस रात अमावस्या की काली रात थी और वह सड़क सुनसान थी, जिसपर वह गाड़ी चला रहे थे। और तब शुरू होता है हॉरर।
इसके बाद की कहानी काफी सीधी है। यह एक बेहद ही सिम्पल हॉरर कहानी है, जो आप मे से कई लोगोने कई बार सुन रखी थी। नयापन कुछ है नही। न ही कहानी डरावनी लगी।यह कहानी लघु कथा के लिए ज्यादा उपयुक्त थी बजाए एक लघु-उपन्यास के। कहानी का अंत विचित्र था और कुछ खास नही लगा। ऐसा लगा कहानी को डरावना बनाने के लिए लेखक ने जानबूझकर बड़ा-चढ़ाकर विवरण दिए। कहानी के शुरुआत मे कई बार हमे काली अमावस्या की रात के कालेपन के बारे मे बताया गया। हम।एक ही बार मे समझ गए थे कि अमावस्या की रात घनी काली है, ऐसे मे बार-बार एक ही बात रिपीट करना! मुझे ये एक सस्ता तरीका लगा हॉरर उत्पन्न करने का।
I picked this book as I am a fan of horror books. But the book is below average. The story revolves around a family driving through a supposedly haunted jungle. It is a short story, but unnecessarily stretched to make a longer one. Read it if you don't have anything else to read. Otherwise, can be skipped.
I have also read the 2nd book of this series, and found it somewhat better than this one!
कहानी में नयापन है, मज़ा आया, हॉरर लवर्स के लिए पढ़ने योग्य ।
मिथिलेश जी ने एक बढ़िया हॉरर शॉर्ट नॉवेल लिखी है । कहानी में नयापन अच्छा लगा । संवाद काफ़ी अच्छे से लिखे गए हैं । कहानी कोई फ़िल्म की तरह तेज़ी से चलती है । कहीं पर भी बोर नहीं करती । जैसा कि बताया गया था, कहानी में कई जगह डर की सिहरन दौड़ जाती है । मज़ा आया ।
Typical aur regular Hum is tarah ki kahani anginat bar filmo aur tv serial mein dekh chuke hai aur dekh rahe hai.kitabi kahani ke taur par Navinta honi chahiye Lekhni bhi filmi hai Lekhak sachi ghatna se prerit batate hai par mujhe toh.....bahut door lagi Bahut sadharan .....bahut regular.....typical horror.
Very good mystery and suspense thriller. The story keeps you glued and the hindi used is also not very complex. A short read again but the ending was somewhat predictable which could be the effect of watching too many horror flicks.
