Solitude: Four Unsettling Tales of Love, Obsession and Horror

 Solitude: Four Unsettling Tales of Love, Obsession and Horror

This book presents you with the eerie stories of four of these people—a collection of stories sewn together with the ragged threads of unmet expectations, unspoken longings, anxiety, grief, glimmering hope, and the subtle sting of disappointment. Every narrative has a hint of horror, but the real fear often originates within rather than from the paranormal.

Although these stories are dressed in horror, they discuss a deeper human subject: the silent conflict between one's inner reality and the roles one is compelled to perform. This book is packed with unfulfilled desires, unsaid anguish, and psychological demons.

 

 A little of that emotional reality can be seen in each of the characters in this collection. The prose is dramatic, evocative, and has a distinctly melancholic tone that effectively conveys the claustrophobia and subdued fear that pervade each story.

Overall, the stories are set in exquisitely depicted, remote regions of India and are interwoven with a distinctly melancholic tone, which heightens the sense of claustrophobia and silent dread.
