Rafik Samagra by Shankar Chatterjee [Hardcover]

"We all love to feel fear. Some even enjoy being scared to some extent. But imagine, while reading a story, if someone were to breathe coldly on your neck or if the bathroom door opened by itself without any wind—how would that feel? The stories are centered around Pir Baba and his assistant Rafique. Whether people today will believe in Pir Baba or his shrine, or practices like Tantra, I don’t know, but I personally do. The first few stories are about Pir Baba, and the rest are about Rafique. The author narrates the events in his own words with extraordinary skill. There are eight or nine chapters in the entire book, but each line gives off a chilling atmosphere... One of the great qualities of Writer’s writing is that without any pretense, he dives straight into the dark side, which makes it impossible to get bored while reading. The terrifying dog seen on the way back from the writer's own shrine, the strange incident at his friend Bimol’s house, the supernatural chill in his other friend Amur’s car garage, and the haunting vision of Kablou, Deepali’s son—these events will take the reader to another world. If you buy the book, at least you won’t be disappointed, that much can be assured to you."
