YESTERDAY'S GHOST BY NIKHIL PRADHAN
There is this group of four people, part of the army team called the Black Team who took part in a secret mission in Sri Lanka thirty years back. They were then forced to retreat from the armed forces and each move in a sepertae path to lead their lives. One day, they receive a code message related only to the event that shook their life thirty years back and their nightmares come true.
If you are a sucker for Paranormal reads, this one is your plate of pie. In fact, I was sort of scared to sleep the night I read this book. It will definitely give you that vibe because of the setting, the mysterious character called Black Knight and the chain of events that would relate to creepy & ghostly stuffs.
Now, moving apart from the gothic feeling, I felt that the book was confusing at some points like...I could not follow the writing very clearly and I also feel some questions are unanswered though I could not tell what the questions were. It was kind of cloudy is what I am trying to say if you get me.
The style of narration is a mix up of prose and dialects and so a big tick mark for that because you would not feel bored in between. The best thing for me about this book is the entire concept. The idea of bringing in horror into action zone and connecting it with mental health, guilt and lots of other stuffs was wonderful. On the whole, it was a good read.
