Cryptic Encounters

Cryptic Encounters is a collection of 13 short stories that are intended to scare, surprise, disgust and startle the readers with its speculative narrative. All Stories follow a central theme - that of a bizarre encounter and its aftermath. Be it a new flat, a lighted kitchen, a hotel room, an arcane passageway or a dinner party, the spirits do not knock before they enter the world of the characters. The characters fight till they can but the eventual outcome is enough to scare the daylights out of you. These stories are enough to make you realize that, at times, the beings from the other side do not seek a rendezvous; they seek something else.
