We're Indians and we read uncontrollably. Not just the starred "serious" books that are reviewed in the papers, but comics, thrillers, self-help books, campus romances, travel, and whatever seems interesting. How come the papers don't cover what we really want? Bookasur is a book review and discussion podcast where P. S. Nissim, a writer and professional book critic, talks about the full broad variety of books we like, from a true desi perspective. From Stephen King to Sholay, from Tagore to Book Fairs, it's all there. Subscribe to make sure you don't miss a thing!

Ep 11: What frightens us, What draws us in

What we’re scared about is what goes into our Horror fiction. Today we talk about fiction that builds the base on what the genre is composed of, and then look at another book that’s the result of 40+ years of working in the genre.

This is episode #11 of Bookasur, talking about ghostly doctors and paranormal sightings and also a phone that brings in the world - and the otherworld - in an understated, beautiful friendship. Not to mention nostalgic sightings in second hand book piles.

Books featured:

Darkness, by Ratnakar Matkari, published by Harper Collins India.

If It Bleeds, by Stephen King, publisher by Hodder & Stoughton.

I also mention my novella Brown Boy, published by Blaft.
