mjspice's review against another edition
dark
mysterious
tense
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.5
Most of the stories aren't what I would consider scary except for Dead Lovers on Each Blade, Hung and In the Ruins of Moenjodaro. If anything they seem to be a mix of thriller and philosophy. I think the author should've also added his other stories too, notabl Laal Aandhi which is one of his scariest. Maybe there's a rights issue Idk.
Anyhow TL;DR if you're looking for diverse stories from Pakistan then do read this. Will also recommend the aforementioned Laal Andhi, City of Red Midnight, The Pauper Prince and the Eucalyptus Jinn and #Spring Love, #Pichal Pairi
