Book Review : Strange, Dark & Mysterious

Book Review : Strange, Dark & Mysterious - Stories by MrBallen

This is a graphic novel, perhaps the first in this genre, that I have read based on a recommendation. After reading through the book, I am quite certain that this would certainly be not the last. This book is a collection of stories from the podcast hosted by John. B. Allen, a former US Navy SEAL, which deals with supernatural and paranormal experiences occurring around the world. These stories have been rendered through absolutely brilliant illustrations which enhances the reading experience of this graphic novel.

The book comprises of 9 different stories across the world detailing various experiences of unexplainable nature. The stories range from forbidden valleys to a real-life experience of “thorns” to a personal encounter for the host. The stories about the ghost town, some unexplainable beasts across the geographies and some folklore from as far as Russia.

However, my favourite story of the lot is “Make it Rain”. This is definitely one of the most creepiest, spookiest and bone-chilling stories I have read. Overall this is definitely recommended for those interested in Paranormal activities.

Book Review : Embers of Trust - Part 1: Shadows of Deceit - Rakesh Vallabha Vaidya

(Pic Courtesy: Amazon Kindle) This book was recommended by a friend on “X”. When I started reading the book, I had jumped to some “observations”, but pretty quickly realised my folly. As the adage goes “Don’t judge the book by its initial pages”, this book was a beautiful pleasant surprise. A small town with its own ethos is the centre stage for an investigation of a girl. The travails of her mother, secrets buried in the past and her support system that also is part of the journey make for a beautiful opening. Detective Ethan Blake - Eccentric.. Maverick.. Wonderfully sketched character. I personally liked the characterisation of the Psychiatrist Dr. Joe and intertwining of paths between the missing girl and him. The flow is quite decently paced culminating in a wonderful crescendo that sets up the next instalment beautifully. My only peeve is that I need to wait for the second part, but that’s a good problem to have. For lovers of fiction, this is a wonderf...

Book Review : Naayi Neralu - S. L. Bhyrappa (Eng. Translation by L. V. Shanthakumari)

Naayi Neralu translates to Dog and Shadow - representative of the 2 constant companions of the soul in its journey as a human being. They don’t leave the side of the man and always follow him wherever he goes. This novel from the maverick writer S. L. Bhyrappa covers some very interesting topics including rebirth / reincarnation, societal norms of what is acceptable, long lasting impact of actions, deceit, while also touching upon some minor topics like conversion in the name of rational religion. Beyond all these, this novel is an excellent reminder of what is impact of one’s karma across generations. Spanning three generations, this novel captures the story of Kshetrapala (Vishwesvara) and his previous cum adopting family comprising of Acchannayyanavru, Nanjakka, Venkamma, Achyutha. There are characters like Thirumala Jois who is the father in the latest birth of Kshetrapala who act as a beacon of dharma in the complex web woven by the master story teller. The events are centre...

Movie Review: Su from So - My take

(Pic Credit: Wiki) Su from So or rather Sulochana from Someshwara is a blockbuster movie running in the theatres to house full shows. And for good reason.. This is a masterpiece .. an absolute masterclass in story telling, script and layering of multiple nuances in the most simplistic of situations. There are reviews galore and it would be absolutely useless to write a review about the movie. However, after coming out of the movie hall, I reflected on the movie and the undertones of the various characters (specifically the emotional arcs) embedded brilliantly into the narrative. This is my attempt to capture some thoughts rummaging through my mind as I walked out of the theatre. Small mistakes have huge snowball consequences Ashoka makes a mistake. To ...
