Blurb
It is a
short story book that has characters from all walks of life, many of them, we
may even have come across. A boy who is amputee, highs and lows of friendship,
a guy who leaves home and join eunuchs, a home-maker suffering from domestic
violence, travel restrictions during covid-19, life and struggle of someone in
prostitution, an insane doctor, mother-son relationship and so on. The pandemic
(Covid-19) has taken numerous lives but have you ever heard of giving a life to
someone? Love is blind, but what’s the maximum extent, is it Prostitution? Do
you want to be a Doctor, Scientist, Businessman but do you want to be a member
of the eunuch homes? “Hope” is the only intangible asset which never lets you
down. Old age parental care is tough but it leads to murder, find out how?
Kindness always pays in the long run, but Beware it can be hazardous sometimes.
‘Rape’ is the only word which horrifies, but what if the protagonist was a
child? Love bites are never the omen of love. Are you keen to read more about
these dynamics? Find out for yourself!
My Takeaway
The Untold Tales: Love and Other Demons is a collection of beautiful stories which sprout from love but the fruits didn’t bear a happy ending. The author has pulled pain and agony wrapped in love and wrote some amazing stories. The stories which are unheard or they never crossed the four wall. The thirteen stories of sacrifice, love, hatred, agony lead to disloyalty, kindness, and being on another land.The book kicks start with the story of a mother-son relationship. The story is blended with sacrifice as a mother and how the son took care of her to the ultimate peace. The very first story blew my mind, the author has pointed out all the emotions which are there in one house. A love of a mother, an agony of a son, and above all how the author has pulled off conditions we are forced to live with.
Whereas story like Love in Prostitution has given us insight into how a man is forced to look down upon his own life and the man only think of money, neglecting all human emotions he shares with others.
Talking about the book cover, it is beautiful and is reflecting what resides in the book. A forest where green leaves are lesser and slowly those green leaves turn dry and at last, they fell off the tree. The title also goes with the stories, love is what we all are connected with and demons are what circumstances make us behave.
I really enjoy the writing tone of the book, easy and crisp. The author has himself written in the acknowledgment that it took four years to write the stories and the readers would know once they read the book.
I would like to recommend the book to those who like reading short stories and also those who want to read something other than their preferred genre. The book is amazing and required a little bit of formatting.
