"What happens when God does not save you but haunts you instead?"
From the bestselling author of 3 horror novels comes this massively scary 4th one which promises to scare you beyond wits in the comfort of your own belief system. A supernatural horror book that explores the darkness of extreme hunger and starvation and a social commentary on unequal distribution of food. It follows the story of a rich family forced into fatal starvation and haunted by an ancient Goddess of food- Annamati. It sheds light on the psychological desperation that is a result of the darkest crevices of an empty stomach.
Blurb (The core of the story):
When the Shukla family wakes up to the suicide of their youngest son on the same day that their
eternally yielding farms all get plagued by rot, they become desperate to try out anything that would
reel them out of the situation. In an attempt to conjure an ancient entity of food, who could
potentially bring the son back and bless the land with eternal fertility, the grandchildren of the
Shuklas invoke a much malevolent spirit that possesses their house. As they begin battling with the
ancient entity as well as the malevolent spirit together, they uncover much darker secrets buried
within the walls of the house.
The entities deprive the family of food and water for days and soon the effects of starvation kick in.
As the mental peace of the family begins to crumble, it is up to the oldest grandson, Bhuva, to save
everyone and get rid of the hauntings.
Will Bhuva succeed in saving the family and bringing his dead uncle back, or will he suffer from the
darker manifestations of hunger?
Every Indian household considers food as God; what would happen if this food itself became solely
responsible for the most malevolent horror anyone could ever experience?
“A raw morsel of Godly terror that kept me hungry for more…” - Sidharth Jain, Producer of Trial by Fire
“Nightmarishly scary yet philosophically thought provoking…” - Vishal Furia, Director of Chhorii, Criminal Justice

"In the Rotten Pits of Hunger" by Ajinkya Bhasme is a gripping tale that masterfully weaves together elements of supernatural horror and family drama. The Shukla family's plight, brought about by a series of tragic events, forms the heart of the narrative. Bhasme skillfully crafts an atmosphere of suspense and dread, keeping readers on the edge of their seats as the family battles not only with malevolent spirits but also their own internal struggles.
The exploration of the Indian cultural belief that food is akin to God adds a layer of depth to the story. The very sustenance that nourishes the body becomes a source of terror, blurring the lines between the physical and metaphysical realms. The characters are well-drawn, each wrestling with their fears and hopes in the face of the sinister forces that have taken hold of their lives.
The pacing of the plot is well-executed, gradually building tension and revealing the dark secrets of the house. Bhuva's role as the oldest grandson and his determination to save his family make him a compelling protagonist. The juxtaposition of the ancient benevolent entity and the malevolent spirit adds complexity to the story, raising thought-provoking questions about the nature of good and evil.
While the novel delves into the realms of horror and the supernatural, it also delves into the emotional dynamics of the family, adding a layer of realism to the tale. Bhasme's evocative prose captures the desperation and fear that permeate the Shuklas' lives.

Ajinkya Bhasme's In the Rotten Pits of Hunger is a chilling feast of supernatural horror with a dash of societal satire that will make you uneasy and provoke thought. The Shukla family, whose lives drastically decline following a farm accident and the untimely death of their youngest son, is at the heart of the story. In a desperate attempt to salvage their farm and satisfy their stomachs, they call upon the ancient food deity Annamati. But they inadvertently let a dark ghost into their home instead of a benevolent food god. The battle for survival that ensues is incredibly eerie and will have you turning pages more quickly than you can say "haunted house."
This is an eerie tale with brains, not your usual ghost story. Bhasme blends spooky paranormal themes with a critical examination of contemporary problems like poverty and hunger. The Shukla family's struggle to endure both supernatural fear and their crippling desperation highlights how unequal resource distribution may push individuals to the verge of disaster in this novel. The story has more depth than your typical horror movie because, while the horrors are strong, so does the societal message.
Characters created by Ajinkya Bhasme have a knack for feeling authentic—like, "you'll want to grab them a cup of tea and tell them it's going to be okay" authentic. The secrets and tensions within the Shukla family are abundant, adding to the personal nature of the horrors. Additionally, Bhasme's ability to paint creepy, immersive images will make you feel as though you're in the middle of everything. In the Rotten Pits of Hunger is a book that should be devoured if you enjoy horror with a heart (and a few ghosts for good measure). Be advised that you may wish to leave the lights on.

Review :
When I read the synopsis of the book, it hooked me right at the moment. An ancient goddess who can fulfill any of your wishes but she has a demand. A demand where she asks for a dish for a wish and if you fail the demand she not only revoke your wish but also going to punish you. Isn't it interesting?
In the story we follow the Sukla family who in their desperation and their want to get their eldest son back from the dead, they ask for help from the goddess. But everything goes downhill from there and they get stuck with the goddess's wrath. And we see how they get out of this situation or they succumb to this.
The story is amazing. The author did an exceptional job to set the vibe and atmosphere of the story. You can feel the eerie, bone chilling feeling all through the story. And the perfect, mysterious thrilling plot added the extra ingredients to it. You'll be hooked to the story from the beginning.
The characters are also very well relatable and portrayed here intricately. Among all these the topics of Indian myths, traditions and beliefs are also well blended with the story.
Overall the book is such an amazing read that I would happily like to recommend it to anyone who loves, horror, thriller story.

The book is very scary and intimidating!!! I love how the author incorporates the family dynamics, hidden emotions, and how a human behaves when demoted to the extreme depths of hunger, starvation, and desperation. Especially love how the writer incorporates human emotions and gives a philosophical rationale that make us question our reality and sanity. Never would I ever have imagined the ending, the conclusion, and the reasoning. It was a thrill slowly introducing you to the darkness, that you would not expect.
The characters are very complex, very unassumable, and reflect the reality of us. The book makes us realise, that all monsters are human in the end. Human make humans monsters. And God remains helpless.
I applaud the author's writing skills, and his vivid imagination.
The book is beautifully crafted, easy to read, and with a good font size. Certainly would recommend keeping this beside your bed
Would recommend this 11/10!! 😍😍😍

"In the Rotten Pits of Hunger" is like many haunted tales and ghost stories, a sad horror in which grief is more brutally harsh as it carries supernatural elements within. The motivation of the Shukla family to bring back their son goes too far and this makes them face evil forces to save their farmland. The story is interesting, with scenes where hunger and excessive madness is the scope of everything as it progresses. Bhuva's passion for saving his family is deep and heartfelt. This work is quite impressive and devastating due to the combination of horror with symbols of Indian culture and its traditions.
