About this listen

The Shadow on the Wall brings together Ruskin Bond’s most chilling works of fright and terror. The 21 stories in this book include classics such as ‘A Face in the Dark’, ‘The Chakrata Cat’ and ‘Susanna’s Seven Husbands’, along with a dose of eerie new tales that have never been published before.

In ‘The Shadow on the Wall’, a young writer finds an unlikely first reader in a ghost; ‘The Doppelgänger’ is a creepy account of beings that occupy two places at once; ‘Haunted Places’ is a spooky look at the world around us. From horrifying stories of chance encounters with hill station spirits, hauntings in abandoned mansions, malignant and mischievous jinns and shape-shifters, to prets and Mussoorie’s Bhoot-aunty, the 21 tales in The Shadow on the Wall showcase Ruskin Bond’s talent as a master of horror fiction.

Anyone who admires Ruskin Bond's writing, this was quiet an easy book to go by. Ghosts surprisingly are not always there torment, but to gently remind of the times that were and sometimes to even knock-in a lesson to remember.

A decent voice acting and well-spun tales make it a leisurely listen. I particularly loved "The Man Who Was Kipling" for its sheer nostalgia and reminiscence. I am certain people who choose this won't be disappointed either.

Mr Bond never fail to impress
