Book Review - Love and other Enchantments

Synopsis –

Short stories are magical. They take you on a walk through the liveliest of alleys, a few resplendent, while others torn between the subdued shades of white and black, to finally melt away, leaving your mind smeared with the most vibrant of hues, like a richly flavored delicacy dissolving into the hidden recesses of one’s senses, all in a matter of few minutes. The beauty is enhanced further if the theme reflected upon is love, for no feeling has conquered human minds like love in its multifarious forms. Here we, a group of five writers, knit together by the bond of creativity and passion for writing, present before you ‘Love And Other Enchantments’ a short story anthology, showcasing fifteen stories that depict, with much ardor, the depth and sheer poignancy of unrequited love.

About the book –

This book is an anthology which showcases beautiful fifteen stories written by five authors. Each author has contributed five stories with different flavor and genre. You will find horror, love, separation and heartbreak kind of emotions in it.

My verdict –

A nice blend of stories. I liked Ishan Dafaria’s way of writing. The way he has described words is commendable and interesting. Akash Deep’s The Lake of Love is a heartwarming and touching story. I liked every bit of it. Anuj Kumar’s its Not Soothing Everytime, has the tendency to give you goose bumps. A nice story with a tinge of horror.

And rest of the stories from rest of the authors is too really appreciating. Just give it a try people.
