Horrors Next Door: Short Stories of Rabindranath Tagore Translated by Prasun Roy [Paperback]

Fear doesn’t always come from haunted houses or abandoned cemeteries. Sometimes it comes from the house across the street, the neighbour you trust, or the ordinary moment that suddenly turns wrong. This haunting collection brings together a series of sharp, unsettling stories where everyday settings become breeding grounds for terror. Each tale pulls you in with relatable characters and familiar environments—only to twist them into something deeply disturbing. From eerie encounters to chilling revelations, these stories tap into a universal truth: horror feels most real when it hits close to home.

Compact, addictive, and relentlessly eerie, this book is perfect for readers who crave quick, satisfying scares with lasting impact.
