Bhoota Gappa - Part 3: The Burnt Smell Of Fresh Ash by Pratiksha Misra

 Bhoota Gappa - Part 3: The Burnt Smell Of Fresh Ash by Pratiksha Misra

“Bhoota Gappa – Part 3: The Burnt Smell of Fresh Ash” is the most intense, most complex, and most haunting chapter yet in the JustUtter horror anthology. I dived the stories through the character of Azagka, the author takes us to different places and introduces us to eerie folklores and terrifying myths. 

This book contains 13 short horror stories that are deeply connected to Azagka’s own journey as she searches for her missing sister. 

I was hooked by the first story when the author narrated the procedure of deh dehan or burning of body that leaves being flavours of fragrances. 

Quote from the book that piqued me:

🌸“Friends who think death is forgotten in a blink haven’t rested next to a cold body.”

Overall, these stories guide her through her quest—so if you plan to start the series, I recommend beginning with the first book.
