In the last story of the book, The Royal Ghost, the protagonist breaks through the barrier of the society and does what he wants rather than listening to others. Also how people’s behavior is affected by other’s thinking, how their activities are affected by what others say is mostly found in his stories. It represents the changing human relationships. The characters in the book usually belong to the middle or the lower-middle class groups. The book mostly deals with human psychological nature, their feelings and emotions. One of the stories in the book tells the tale of the time when the Royal massacre took place in Nepal. The book discusses the stories of various people under going their own path and also their psychological aspect and their behaviour. It is a short story collection rather than a single novel. The Royal Ghost by America-based Nepali author Samrat Upadhyay is a good read.

ONCE UPON A HALLOWEEN NIGHT by Jeremy Bates: In the days leading up to Halloween night, two brothers will discover the worst kinds of monsters are often human.īROTHERS by Jason Parent: Sometimes, bonds between brothers are thicker than blood. Three leading voices in modern horror take us on a journey through Halloween in the infamous town of Clifton Heights.ĭAUGHTER OF THE MISTS by Kevin Lucia: Clifton Heights' biggest classic horror movie cinephile finds himself plunged into the midst of his own personal horror movie nightmare, in which he discovers how savage the classic monsters actually are. The issue that led me to give it 3 stars, though? That would be the depth. It was a book to set up what’s coming next, so that’s understandable. And the plot itself was, alright, a little predictable but not in a way I minded. The characters, too, were ones you could easily like and sympathise with and, if I were ever to decide I wanted to continue the series, it would be because of them. All of these were good: the writing was easy to read and moved the story along at a rapid enough pace that I was never bored by it. None of this was really to do with the writing or the characters or the plot. But I don’t think I could say I enjoyed it enough to want to continue reading the series. Wishing I wasn’t reading it, or skimming it (yes, I’m aware there’s a simple fix to these problems). There’ve been books where I’ve spent the whole thing just. This isn’t to say I didn’t have fun reading this one. It’s pretty enjoyable, definitely readable, with enough action to see you through.
