Book Review: Dread, Short Stories by Aseem Rastogi

Dread, Short Stories by Aseem Rastogi is a very small ebook published last month by Blogchatter during the month long e-book carnival.

There are five stories in the book, of varying lengths. The thread tying them together is the emotion that finds an echo in each one of them. That emotion is FEAR.

A young couple at a safari, a man who had everything working for him in life, an office goer and more make up the cast of the stories. 

I can hardly write anything about the stories here without giving up the gist but I can definitely say that Aseem knows how to keep his readers glued to the pages of the e-book. Aseem is a passionate blogger  and traveller. You can get a glimpse of his well travelled soul in the various stories which take place from New Delhi to Grasslands to London.  

The stories are written well, the language playing in its author's hands to instil exactly what he aims at, dread. I am no brave-heart but continued reading the 35 paged book in one sitting even though my heart hammered in my chest.

You can get the book at www.blogchatter.com and follow the author on Twitter @aseemrastogi2. Rastogi has previously published various stories and essays in anthologies like Down the Road, Memoirs of Dreamers and Minds @Work.
