The Haunting of Delhi City : Tales of the Supernatural

by Suparna Chawla Bhasin, Jatin Bhasin

"You know Delhi for its rich cultural tapestry, history and monuments. You love it for its food--kebabs, chole-kulche, golgappe and chaat. But do you know about the dark shadows that lurk in its all-too-familiar haunts--the arcades of Connaught Place, the gullies of Mehrauli, the lawns of Lutyens' Delhi, or the pillars and arches of the tombs in Hauz Khas? The stories in The Haunting of Delhi City are set in a Delhi we think we know well, but don't. This is a Delhi that reveals the presence of the supernatural at every corner-ghosts as real to us in stories as they are in our imagination. Exquisitely chilling, each of these tales holds a piece of the city and its people-especially the ghosts. Oh, these are just stories, you say. But are they? Come, have a read ... if you dare."

A quick and a fun read- contrary to what this is, a collection of grim horror stories it really is a delight to read especially for someone who's fond of Delhi, dotted with familiar places, lanes, history; this is a book by the true Delhite to a Delhite.
[3.75 rating for its fascinating and promisingly engaging tales but lacking some depth]

Beautiful, trippy, a real treat for those who seek ghost stories. The way its narrated is awesome. References about Delhi and its streets makes it more realistic. Give it a go, i am sure it will entertain. Thanks.
