My favourite of Ray's assortment of a dozen short stories with horror, ghost, sci-fi, adventure and a mystery blended in the hardback. the content runs as
- Anukul
- Telephone
- Aami Bhut
- Kaagtarua
- Lakhpati
- Ganesh Mutsuddir Portrait
- Nitai O Mahapurush
- Kutum-Katam
- Nidhiraamer Icchapuran
- Raamdhaner B(n)ashi
- Master Angshuman
- Bosepukure Khunkharapi
The best part of the collection is the usual thrill of the twist at the climax is heightened by extreme fiction that has been masterfully masked till the finale. The stories include a humanoid robot with senses more like humans, a call from the land of the mist, narrative by a ghost that has been followed by a curious dream, the transformation of a proud soul, extraordinary skill of an artist, a horror adventure, a funny metamorphosis, a terrified ghost, a short adventure in Master Angshuman, my favourite in my younger age and the pick of the lot and finally the mystery surrounding the murder and the family of an opera artist. The stories are so designed as to keep its impression lasting for years if not decades.
