Bhoota Gappa
"Bhoota Gappa", means "Ghost Stories", in the Odiya dialect, and that's my native language from the land of Jagannath, where I come from called Odisha. This all started back in 1985, when we used to visit Buxi bazar, Cuttack, our grandparents house, during summer holidays, as stories where a kid's portal to imagination back then, we were narrated an infinite number of stories, by my grandmother (father's mom), most of it in the genre of ghosts, spirits, black magic, which either she had experiences of her own or she narrated experiences of someone close to her from her childhood, as she called it "Bhoota Gappa", I name this book series in memory of my grandmother, who wanted to become a great educator some day and read a lot of books in various languages, despite of being educated just till middle school.
Each book in this series, consists of 7 short horror stories, followed by a snippet of a bigger horror story happening in parallel, with all the characters from these shorter stories. Some of these experiences are being shared for the first time and are stories inspired by an amalgamation of true stories and events. This will make your heart beats faster, your eyes get bigger and your minds a bit foggy, while you feel chillier as you walk deeper into the darkness of these haunting experiences. Hope you read it all and publish some honest feedback after you read.
