The Manor: A Horror Mystery : If you Dare then Read
Many times, we experience something unexpected—a narrow escape from a deadly accident because we were late and missed the bus or train we were supposed to board. Have you ever felt that someone might have intervened to save you? We often dismiss these incidents as mere luck, but is luck truly the answer, or is it a reflection of a deeper, ongoing battle between good and evil?
Raj and Karishma might be unaware of the gravity of the decisions they've been drawn into, but will destiny offer them a second chance?
In the heart of a forsaken forest, shrouded in perpetual mist, stands the village of Amtya, home to an ancient manor that defies the constrictions of time and sanity. Its weathered stones, etched with cryptic symbols, rise like the remnants of a forgotten nightmare. This is no ordinary house; it is a living entity, a pitcher of darkness that feeds on the fears and secrets of those who dare to cross its threshold.
Will Raj and Karishma uncover the manor's sinister secrets? Grab your copy if you dare to read and unveil this deadly haunting tale.

• 𝐒𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐞𝐧'𝐬 "𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐫: 𝐀 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐲: 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝" is an 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫 𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥. I adore this one the most because it is the shortest. Realizing and experiencing this plot is incredible. ☕
• I have seen 𝐑𝐚𝐣 and 𝐊𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐦𝐚, and I find these two to be 𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐬. I decided to give this book a try because I truly adore horror stories. Everything we need is in the layers. Screaming is possible during the climax, turns, and turning pages. 🍂
• This is wealthy. Therefore, the plot and the characters are not 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐝 by 𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬. That is the main idea, too. I strongly recommend reading this book because of the attention it captures along the way, which is truly remarkable. With 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 and 𝐩𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲, the author makes her point. 🦋
• From the beginning to the end, the final pages provide justification. Naturally, I think the book is fantastic! You can fall in love with the book just by turning the pages—the 𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐞, 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 is enough. The unexpected within the anticipated! 🍷

The Haunted Manor of Amtya invites readers into a dark, spine-chilling journey where every turn holds an eerie secret. In this thriller, Raj and Karishma find themselves entangled in a web of fate and danger, navigating a world where each choice may tip the balance between life and death.
Set in the remote and hauntingly mysterious village of Amtya, the story's atmosphere is deeply immersive. The author skillfully crafts an environment drenched in perpetual mist, an ancient manor looming with secrets, and a presence that feels almost alive. The manor itself is a character—a foreboding entity that seems to pulsate with darkness, feeding off the fears of those brave (or foolish) enough to enter. The eerie setting and cryptic symbols etched into its walls paint a vivid picture of a place both fascinating and terrifying, as if it’s somehow beyond our world.
The plot does an excellent job of building suspense around the theme of fate versus free will, drawing readers into a thought-provoking exploration of "luck" versus supernatural intervention. Raj and Karishma’s story seems like an uncanny twist of destiny, and readers are kept guessing: is it mere coincidence, or is something far more sinister at play? This question resonates as they uncover the manor's secrets, bringing forth reflections on the eternal conflict between good and evil.
Characterization is strong, with Raj and Karishma both relatable in their curiosity and vulnerability. While their personalities contrast, it’s their combined dynamic that pulls readers through the twists and turns of the story. However, while they are relatable, their reactions to the unfolding horrors can sometimes feel overly cautious, as though the true weight of the manor’s sinister power doesn't fully sink in. Despite this, their growth through fear and revelation feels genuine.
The novel's pacing is overall solid, though at times it leans heavily on atmospheric description, slowing the plot slightly. Some readers might find these segments richly descriptive, while others may feel it detracts from the action. Still, the narrative tension remains gripping, with each chapter edging closer to the ultimate revelation about the manor and the choices Raj and Karishma must confront.
If you enjoy supernatural thrillers that blend psychological horror with philosophical undertones, *The Haunted Manor of Amtya* is well worth the read. It’s more than just a haunted house story—it’s an exploration of fear, destiny, and the shadows lurking within and around us. Pick up this book if you dare, but be warned: you may find yourself questioning the thin line between luck and intervention, good and evil, long after you’ve turned the last page.

How will you feel when you are gifted (by some estranged relative) a beautiful manor?
You will be surprised but super happy. You will thankfully accept it.
This is a normal reaction, but this story will make you reconsider your answer.
In this story, a lovely couple is gifted a beautiful mansion on the land of Lucifer (Kerala). Raj and Karishma plan to drive to their manor in the tranquil confines of a forgotten village, Amtya. Karishma just loves the manor and is attracted to its nostalgic charm. Raj also likes the villa, but...
What is the power of the old manor, and why does it disturb Raj?
Kerala is a land of nature and magic; this dark tale beautifully connects the reader to the land's magic. The author has perfectly narrated the creepy power of the mirror slammer. Actually, I don’t believe a poet who touched my heart with his soulful poems can scare me. I should not have read this novella after midnight.

I haven't read horror books for a really long time and at first I wasn't sure about this one but still I gave it a try and oh my god, I really regret not getting started with this one early.
Basically, the story happens in this tiny village called Amtya. The way the place is described in this book is something which made a mood reader like me to get stuck with this book. I couldn't stop reading, I literally finished the whole book in a single night, yes! Night and yes, i couldn't sleep for next two days 🤣 but yes, the sleep was worth the sacrifice.
Coming to the male and female protagonist of this book, Raj and Karishma. These two characters have been so well written. Both of them got enough screen space without one overlapping the other and it's something really amazing.
The writing style was good as well. You will be so much engaged with the story that you literally feel like you are in it. The suspense, the story telling! Everything is top notch.

Manor is another gothic novel which is swift-paced and chilling.Having added all the elements of a fine appeasing gothic novel, it definitely sends shiver down our spine. An old estranged mansion, darkness, library, books, searing images and purring cat-all of these are the usual things we see in a horror novel. However, readers are attracted to every new horror novel for its sheer mystery and suspense.Here also, the Manor holds a past mysterious tale and awaits to be unveiled by a new visitor. The place is haunted and malevolently devours the mortal beings, making it an endless eerie tale.
I grew much fascinated towards this because of the reason that the place where it happens is my native land. It scary and hilarious as well to know that such haunted mansions still exists in Kochi!!!

One of the strengths of the book lies in its descriptive language, painting the manor not just as a setting, but as a character in its own right. The creaking floorboards, shadowed halls, and inexplicable cold spots evoke an air of dread that permeates each page. This is a place that seems almost sentient, feeding off the fear of those within its grasp.
Sen also weaves together a mystery that challenges readers to piece together clues alongside the characters. This adds an interactive element that enhances engagement. However, there are moments when the pacing can become uneven; the buildup is rich in detail, which, while immersive, may slow down the momentum at times. Some readers might appreciate this meticulous approach to setting the scene, while others could feel it detracts from the plot’s urgency.

Absolutely loved the book written by Dr. Siddharth Sen. He is a master storyteller and the way he has created the aura of suspense in the story is simply amazing. Raj, the protagonist's behaviour and actions draw the readers towards him and the readers are transported into a different world. I was fascinated to enter into this creepy world and as long as I was engrossed in it, I couldn't really feel that there is a reality too. Suddenly I was jolted back into reality after reading the last chapter of the book . Some moments were really spine chilling and thus evoked certain feelings which are still lingering in my mind.It has a profound effect upon me.Overall, a very interesting read.
