20th book by Mr. Matkari & what I believe would be the last book I'll be reading of him as he's no more with us (you're missed!) & the remaining 3-4 books by him don't interest me as much. This story collection of 10 stories would come under horror/suspense genre, but the stories were nowhere near the level of stories in his books खेकडा or मध्यरात्रीचे पडघम. Like I mentioned in one of my earlier reviews of his books, I unfortunately picked his best books at the start hence could never find any other book of his at par with them. Coming to the book again, would mention पांदेगा as this was the only story which stood out for me from the rest. 3 ⭐ from my side.
