IT FOLLOWS YOU by Keran Pantth Joshi is a collection of short, fast-paced horror stories.
The protagonists are in places where they encounter evil forces. As the title suggests, these evil forces follows the protagonists in order to kill them or for their own gain.
In the start of the book, we are introduced to Guruji Bhagwati Prasad who is telling these stories and later appears in many. The stories were very different from each other – weird happenings and death around a house with newlyweds, how ‘right swipe’ in dating apps can take a drastic turn, mysterious mass bird suicide and many more.
Some stories were gruesome and eerie. From Bangalore to Uttarakhand, they covered many parts of India depicting urban legends associated with the places. There were shocking twists with endings left on cliffhanger meaning low satisfaction. I enjoyed the stories but most were not fearsome. We can also say some delivered a happy ending for the evil?
The purpose of author was to deliver horror and make us scared but I don’t think that was achieved in all the stories. The spookiest and chilling one for me was Don’t Turn Back. Was it frightening!
A story that hit hard emotionally was The Walk in the Jungle which showed Indian history in year 1956 . It was a little creepy but the description of mass pandemic deaths in a village where infected were isolated in the forest with no one to care for them was heart wrenching to read. But I also liked how the story showed people at that time living simple and less complicated lives.
This book also brings forward rotten views of society such as caste system and beauty standards for marriage and competition. It had an underlining of human emotions and nature, be it jealousy or evilness. But also the goodness such as helping others by sacrificing themselves.
I really like the cover art. It is pretty and I cannot stop staring. It follows you was a good read but not as scary as it looks. Do you know who is ‘IT’ that follows you?

⭐ My Rating - 4.7/5⭐
The book " It Follows you " is a supernatural genre written by Author Keran Pantth.
Shivers are running down your spine,
"IT" and you, now interwine.
Release me you say, release you it may,
It growls away, I am here to stay.
-Keran Pantth
It follows you is a book which is about 12 short haunting stories narrated by a person. All the stories were highly focused in bringing out the fear factor and I would definitely agree that the stories did justice to the motive. They were all about a negative force or a supernatural force which follows the protoganists of each story for what they did. Each n every part was jaw dripping and completely interesting but some of the stories were quite normal. Since this is a horror book, it actually had fear elements but on the whole not all stories were really scary. Other than the horror factor, there were places which had real and emotional factors as well. The following were my personal favourites out of twelve.
🎗️The Blind Date
🎗️Don't turn back
🎗️The Unwanted Guest
🎗️What's your story
🎗️The Walk In The Jungle
Special appreciation for the titles chosen by the author for each stories. These stories brought some haunted and funny memories of mine. Overall it was a chilling read. I recommend this book to all horror book readers out ter!

“Beware! For the woods are dark. They are forbidden…they are dangerous. They are full of ravenous spirits! Yet, he sets out… in the precarious forest. Where he isn’t alone…”
~ ‘It follows you’ by Keran Pantth Joshi
Did you hear any horror stories in your childhood? Did you get a nightmare after hearing that story? Do you still get nightmares after hearing such stories? Do you believe in an evil spirit? Well, I don't really believe in such things, but on some nights, I get a feeling that there's someone staring at me from outside the window or there's someone sitting under my bed. Those are the nights that literally scare me to the core and make me believe that there's a spirit lurking at every corner and following me everywhere I go.
This book is a collection of twelve horror stories revolving around twelve lives, multiple courses, but just one fear. These stories are somewhat related, yet quite different. These stories made me remember those horror stories which I used to hear from my friends when I was a child. I love watching horror movies, but this is my first ever read in this genre and I liked this book very much. My favourite stories from the book are:
1. Kaal Ratri
2. The Blind Date
3. This Doll Belongs To You Now
4. The Unwanted Guest
5. Himanta’s New Bride
6. The Return of The Curse
7. The Walk In The Jungle
The author has tried to add an element of reality to all the stories, so that they look natural. I appreciate the ability of the author to add life to these stories as well as keep the realistic outlook of these stories alive. This is beginner- friendly and highly recommended to those who wish to start reading and exploring this genre.

This book is a collection of 12 fascinating horror tales, narrated by great guru Bhagwati Prasad to his disciple Devdutt. The stories are of different places and different times, what's common in them is the presence of supernatural powers.
Kaal Ratri, this is a Bengali marriage ritual when the newly weds are separated on the first night of marriage and begin their life after the next day. But what happens when the bride's family extend the wait for three days, what's the reason for it?
Next story is someway relatable to present lifestyle - Dating App. Yes through a dating app MeetYourMate Megha meets Hargovind, an interesting handsome man with an old name. Collage friends, we all have them and love them but what will happen if the creepy old buddy returns and scares you to the core...
The next set are stories are decade old tales in beautiful rustic India. Here comes a tale of urban Bangalore highways, this is my city and every time I sit in a taxi I'll remember this story (I may even share the story with my driver). What's your story, this is what I call a perfect horror thriller and my favourite story in this book.
Next comes the dark shades of love where a village girl meets her old love but slaughtering a huge family. What will you do if a curse follows you for days/months/years and at last attacks you? How will you face it? What will happen when the healer is cursed?

The novel begins with a guru, Bhagwati Prasad, who recounts his encounters with spirits, both real and imagined. 'It Follows You' is a collection of twelve spine-chilling short tales of woe, each circling from around consistent feature of misfortunes, but each one distinct in there own manner. A few of these tales were compiled by the author from true events witnessed by her family, and others were the result from her own creativity, and neither of these ever bore the readers.
The book's narrative voice is captivating. In a really remarkable manner, the author presented all of her experiences, thoughts, and fantasies on the page.
The saturation level in the novel is an excellent match for the narrative. It's always an issue with horror literature that the language gets degraded in order to make things intriguing. However, in this novel, the balance is nicely preserved.

The book is a compilation of 12 short stories. All these stories happen to different people across place and time. But all of them have the same thread tying them together. Horror. Fear. Death. It may be a curse, a witch, an evil eye or a spirit.
All of these stories are narrated by an esteemed Guruji, who has personally seen all of these people in his life and has helped them or has told them about the evil in their homes and around.5
I love reading and watching horror. It always makes me sleep well. Idk, I'm weird like that! So it's a no-brainer to say I LOVED THIS BOOK! The perfect amount of horror, thrill and that ominous feel of “OMG, something is gonna happen”. I'm feeling goosebumps as I write this review.
The characters were well written and developed. And the storyline was quite good. The writing and language were easy and understandable. It also helped to have a glossary to know the meaning of words like “Chals, Nishi” etc. Great book and has become one of my favourites. Would recommend it to anyone who likes horror and short stories.

I have always been a fan of paranormal stuff and horror obviously, though I end up having the scariest dreams at night but I just couldn't resist the urge to witness those stories using my naked eyes.
Coming to the book...by looking at the cover ; at first I thought it was about some religious figures but no....it had real horrific vibes.
There are 12 short stories in total which describes the evil eye and their following crush.
I wanted to stop reading in the middle of the book because I was scared as hell by the portrayal of the devil's and their physical appearance ; every chapter just seems so real even the author says it is based on real life stories and some on her imagination.
The author has done a tremendous job with the plot portrayal.

It follows us is a collection of 12 short horror stories. All the stories are based on Indian states like Himachal Pradesh, West Bengal and a lot of others.
Each story was about a supernatural power that goes after the main characters to torture them for the evil things they did. Almost every story was interesting and breathtaking, leaving two or three which were quite ordinary.
The title and the cover both are very eye-catching. Though the book has horror stories, it is also a package of mystery and suspense. Narration is very good. Language is lucid and the writing style is very catchy. Out of the twelve, The Blind date and Don’t Turn Back are my favourites.
The book also brings forward some awful perspectives of people such as beauty standards for a marriage of a girl, also the prevailing caste system.
I have read the other book by the author, Check-in Checkout which is also a horror book and was a spooky read. So I couldn’t miss this one. I highly recommend this book if you are into the horror genre.

I came to know about the book, when I first saw the cover page being promoted on authors social media, and I knew I had to buy the book. In the first glance The cover doesn't depicts anything spooky but with its title you know, something is on store for you and on closer look, you will notice that diffrence.
This book consists of 12 different stories each more scarier than the other. My favourite had been Kaalratri, Himanta's new bride, what's your story. Another difference among other books and this is, at the start of each chapters there are these verses, which gives a gist of what story will unfold. And another thing I liked is, I read it at night, so I was also at my wits ends, when anything happened.
The not so negative part of the book will be I believe that the last two chapters aren't that scary compared to the ones before, felt like it had been added as an afterthought.
Overall IT ALWAYS FOLLOWS YOU

'It follows you' is a collection of twelve short stories in the horror genre. Each of the story is from a different time period, and each incident is from a different part of India.
.
When I first saw the book cover, the lady in it was pretty and I remember thinking, how can a horror book's cover have a beautiful lady on it. But only after second glance, I saw the creepy black hands! Most of the stories in the book introduce a new kind of horror creature, and a story from it. I never knew there were so many types of creatures! We already know it is a horror story before we start reading. But, in most of the stories, the turning point in the story still gave me chills! Even after the initial indicators of an abnormal presence, the end of the story was scary in most cases. Even though it didn't leave me thinking and worried about the dark night, it did give me a lot of moments when I was spooked for moments. I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. I recommend this book to all those who love horror stories.

REVIEW
TITLE: It Follows You
AUTHOR: Keran Pantth Joshi
RATING: ****
GENRE: Supernatural. Horror.
The 12 horror short stories take place in various parts of India. Evil forces follow the protagonists and continue to haunt them. Some stories weren't as scary as they were supposed to be. But apart from being scary, all the stories talk about issues in Indian society. The book also had elements of thriller and suspense in it.
The book doesn't always give you the "horrifying" feel but it definitely leaves you spooked. The flow of writing is very good and straightforward. The book cover is very aptly designed.

Felt those goose Bumps!
Talking about horror genre is not always about the ghost, it can be something different too, author Keran just proved it by bringing up collection of 12 spine chilling stories combined into a single book 'IT FOLLOWS YOU'. While all the stories are really fast paced, they may be breathtaking.
This book is partially non- fiction, they are inspired by true experiences of Author's near and dear one's, and partially the book is all about the author's creative mind which went well together.
All the 12 stories are different from each other! If I want to select one out of them that could scare me the most, I would say, it is 'Don't turn back'.
This book is treat in one package for those who love something paranormal as part of their reading. It is somewhat spooky and somewhat a tale of victims which is also nothing bad to talk about.
It is a short but spooky read. Kept my eyes intruiged, language used is simple and easy to understand. All the characters are well built and come from our day to day life, which makes it relatable.
The best thing to talk about this book is the cover. It comes from the round of India into one beautiful masterpiece. Eye catching.
Talking about horror genre is not always about the ghost, it can be something different too, author Keran just proved it by bringing up collection of 12 spine chilling stories combined into a single book 'IT FOLLOWS YOU'. While all the stories are really fast paced, they may be breathtaking.
This book is partially non- fiction, they are inspired by true experiences of Author's near and dear one's, and partially the book is all about the author's creative mind which went well together.
All the 12 stories are different from each other! If I want to select one out of them that could scare me the most, I would say, it is 'Don't turn back'.
This book is treat in one package for those who love something paranormal as part of their reading. It is somewhat spooky and somewhat a tale of victims which is also nothing bad to talk about.

*Recieved as a review copy*
About the book:
This is a collection of 12 short horror stories, all set in different parts of India.
In the beginning, we are introduced to a certain Guruji, Bhagwati Prasad who is telling all these stories. The stories mostly take place in all over India: from Bengal to Uttarakhand and they were about many different legends of these different parts of India. The stories were very different from each other: like weird happenings and death around a house of newlyweds, how a simple right-swipe on a dating app can have a drastic turn etc....some of the parts of the stories were really graphical, eerie and gruesome. And the endings of the stories were left on cliffhangers. Each stories talked about how a curse or a demon is following the protagonists for their own gain! But the end epilogue is where we understand the reason behind the title..
.
My take:
The writing style was average and there were a few typos. I wouldn't say the stories scared me, they were quite predictable. The stories had so much potential but I wish the storytelling was a bit better and more suspenseful. But still I'll highly recommend this book to all the horror genre lovers. Overall, this was a good one-time read for me.

Have you ever sat down with your friends around a bonfire, or if you are not so adventurous like me, made do with switching off the lights or properly utilized power-cuts, and shared ghost stories or paranormal experiences spooking each other out?
If yes, or if you want to have a similar experience, this is the perfect book for you.
Move over Voldemort's horcruxes, here you have cursed laddoos (a type of sweet) . This is way more delicious!
It Follows You is a collection of 12 short stories, all following different people, set in different parts of India, but something or rather someone links them all and holds the flow together.
The stories would fall in the medium range in the scare-o-metre but they do have certain graphic images of half eaten animals, dead birds, blood and all the gore. You will find certain clichès like the temperature dropping suddenly and possessed dolls. But all in all, it was a fun read.
Also, in each chapter someone or the other twists and turns in their bed; time to get their comforters changed maybe?

Thrilling and mysterious, 'It Follows You' is a compilation of twelve short horror stories, each revolving around the common pivot of curses, though each unique in their own way. Some of these stories were collected by the author from real-life incidents, while some were products of her own imagination, but none of them ever spared a moment of monotony or boredom for the readers.
I am going to be very honest here, I am the biggest scaredy cat I know, therefore(should have seen this coming) my terrified heart could only manage to get through eight tales(I have finally come to the realisation that I should probably just drop my dream of ever actually completing an entire horror novel) without literally beating right out of my chest. However, I gathered enough of opinions about the book from those eight stories and without further ado, here they go: Each tale was rich with an ample background and genuine characters. Almost every story had minor punctuation errors, nonetheless all eight seemed extremely well thought and their execution was proper too. My favourites among the stories I read have to be the first one 'Kaal Ratri' and 'The Haunted Highway' because the supernatural elements in both were high while the horror element was only moderate and thus, a horror novice like yours truly could actually enjoy herself with these.
A question I would really want to ask the author if I ever get the opportunity is how could she write such stories spooky AT NIGHT WHILE SHE WAS PREGNANT, without being scared witless, because only reading eight of them resulted in quite a few sleepless nights as well as an amazing amount of paranoia for me afterwards but I assume that horror fans will have a fest with this one and hence, it's recommended on my part to everyone(except such weak hearts as myself that stand at a risk of heart fail due to scare🥲😓✌🏻)

Book Name: It Follows You
Author: Keran Pantth Joshi
Genre: Horror
"The death follows you till the end of time.... and when it is your time, it will come, no matter what you do and where you hide. IT FOLLOWS YOU!"
"It Follows You" by Keran Pantth Joshi is a collection of 12 haunting stories that will give you goosebumps while reading. The story starts with an introduction of a Guruji and his devote, Devdutt, who is forbidden from eating ladoos, as the ladoos were cursed. Guruji then narrated to him, 12 horror stories, to make him understand what is cursed, an evil eye, a spell or the demon, and how it follows you.
The 12 stories in the book are: Kaal Ratri, The Blind Date, This Doll Belongs to You, Don't Turn Back, The Unwanted Guest, The Haunted Highway, What's Your Story, Himanta's New Bride, The Return Of The Curse, The Rosary, The Payback, The Walk In The Jungle. The one which I liked the most in these 12 is The Walk In The Jungle which is different from the stereotype horror stories, in which it is shown that how a spirit took the form of the protagonist's friend and saved him from other evil spirits while crossing the jungle. The protagonist realises the fact that he is not his friend, but a spirit only after reaching out of the Jungle.
The stories are enchanting, fast-paced, mysterious, and crisp. These stories will take you on a journey full of mystery, adventure, and terror. The only reason to choose this book was its intriguing cover and the title, and the book didn't disappoint me either. The language and narration style is lucid and gripping which will keep you hooked throughout the book. I would recommend this book to all the horror stories lovers out there and to beginners.

Nice read
“The evil is here… sharing your bed and your home.
Eating you bit by bit
till IT fully becomes you and shares your body too”
The book is a collection of 12 short stories. Sounds simple! But when you dig into it you will be pleasantly horrified.
.
The book began with a guru Bhagwati Prasad who is sharing his experiences with ghosts some of them real & some of them imaginary.
.
For me horror is not a preferable genre to read. I just sometimes horrified after finishing a horror book. But this book is different from others as you can find the horror touch in the book upto a certain level which is enough to connect with them yet you are not get blown away with it. It just adds a thrilling crunch to the reading experience.
.
My favourite picks of the book are
👉 Kaal Raatri
👉 The Blind Date
👉 The Haunted Highway
👉 Himanta’s New Bride
👉 The Payback
.
To know more about the book grab it & read it.
🙂 Cover of the book is the initial thing which either make you to read the book or not. The cover of this book is just a piece of act. It's eye catching it's attractive it's beautiful it's just mesmerizing. The illusion, the design & the theme of the cover perfectly blend with the plot line.
🙂 The writing style of the book is mesmerizing. Author put forward all her experiences ideas imaginations on the paper in a very impressive manner.
🙂 The language used in the book is wonderfully complementing to the plot line. It's always a problem in horror books that to keep it interesting, the language is somehow compromised. But in this book the balance is maintained beautifully.
🙂 The quotes added before each story adds an extra crunch to reading experience.
🙂 The mention of date & place in the top of each story gives a little new touch to the readers as it's a very new & unique concept.
🙂 The book is nicely paced to keep the reading pace intact of readers.

As you could see the name itself is quite eye catching and cover is a attracting as well. This is my first time analyzing a right horror book and I'm completely surprised with the aid of using it. It's spooky and backbone chilling and additionally exceptional for autumn or halloween weekend.
It's a set of 12 quick memories which are brief to read , attractive and rapid paced. Every tale can be finished inside 10 minutes or so and those tales are nor simply sited in or on a specific vicinity due to the fact evil is everywhere . These tales are primarily based totally on Indian subcontinent and states like West Bengal , Madhya Pradesh, Himachal and lots of others are mentioned.
Every tale begins offevolved with a quote like “You thought it become a blessing… But hiding in the back of turned into a curse… Taking away everything… The handiest issue you may do? Wait for it to be unravelled fully” Scary isn't it ? Every tale is unique and particular to it is type and certainly one of my preferred is 'The Return Of The Curse' that is sited in Delhi. Though the memories are extraordinary however they keep a principal subject that is Twelve lives. Multiple curses. One Fear.
Point to be mentioned it is now no longer only a horror ee-e book , it is complete of mystery , suspense and adventure.. Writing is crisp and language is lucid. Narration is extremely good. Overall a superb book.

This book is a collection of 12 short stories about supernatural beings and their haunts. In each story, we find the protagonist getting attracted to a cursed object and bringing doom upon themselves. And sometimes it was their glooms, desires, weaknesses, & selfish motives that led the curse to them. The stories cover different parts of India in different time zone. starting from Pali village, Himachal in 1956 to Mumbai,2019.
The first few stories were moderate. For most of the stories, the premise was set up nicely, taken from the legends. But somehow it was failing to create the anticipated atmosphere considering the genre. Then towards the end, it started getting better and I must say it didn't feel nice but alarming & dreadful. The mentioning of real places made each word of the stories so evoking that the possibility of visiting those places in future gave me chills. Also, the choice of words was very intentional and commendable for the title of the stories and the title itself.
Fascinated by the cover, I thought of checking this one out. And I'm happy that it didn't fail me. Moreover, this one can be a wise choice for beginners in this genre.
A few of my favourites were ~ Don't Turn Back, What's Your Story and Hemanta's New Bride.

This is my second read of Author Keran. Just like the first one (Check in - Check out) had amazed me, this one surprised me more.
And now I'm a fan of her horror plot writing skills.
This book is a collection of horror plots which will make you feel a shiver down your spine via reading the perfect narration.
Arundhati was initially suspicious about her in-laws giving all the gifts and hurrying the process of Indroneel and Molini's marriage and then, the concept of Kaal Ratri and how daughter of Satan is linked with it was very astonishing.
The blind date was also one very intriguing plot where till the last moment Megha was in shock about who Hargobind was. And the scene of her escaping his house and the link of 100 sacrifices involving her bestfriend Krusha, being the 99th person who got sacrificed was one very horror filled narration.
Dr. Girish was a very helpful soul and had a record of 100 percent for recovering his patients. He had a past with a doll, the doll that his roommate Mehta used to have. What was that doll doing in his child Abeer's hand ?
And the way he got it out of his sight is worth a read. There comes a man at his door saying he belongs to Dr. Girish now.. yet another epic narration.
Then one very positive plot that I liked the most was of Durga. She was a very helpful soul, she cured evil eyes by just the mantras she had learnt from a book forgotten by the Guruji while he had cured his brother of the same.
But she wasn't taught about its proper use and effects and it affected her badly until Guruji guided her to stop practicing the service. But due to her services she got an extra power, an extra sense, which made it very helpful for souls who couldn't convey their last messages.
There are yet other amazing plots in this book and I'm sure all the horror and thrill readers will love it.
An Indian author is leaving a great mark in the horror world now.
It's one Another proud moment for us all to cherish.

This book is surely a good entertainer. It was more like my grandmother stories. Author also said that some are based upon the real events which are bit scary but I enjoyed reading it. Some stories were left incomplete at the end otherwise if you love short stories and horror is your genre then pick this book. You can even read daily one horror story at night for your friends or cousins 😂which will be more fun since all can get scared together😉.

June 17, 2021🕸Keran Pantth Joshi is back with her second book filled with short thrilling and horror stories called 'IT follows you'. I was really looking forward to reading this book because I became a fan of her after reading her first book "Check in check out." Similar to her earlier book the author has complied twelve short horror stories but each ends on the same note- evil or curse following back to the victim. These stories are remarkably written and are captivating to the reader.

🕸Out of all the twelve stories that literally gave me goosebumps was the story of Megha who ended losing her life by meeting a person on a dating app. Another story revolves around Dr. Girish an extremely remarkable surgeon who is living a happy life but his world turns upside down when his past comes knocking on his door. They are thrilling stories by the author.
🕸As we read ahead,the stories all are as I would put, 'scarier than the previous one'. As the book progresses the stories around it will make the reader think that such things do exist, or the people have really gone through such experiences. Overall I can say this is an extremely well written work by the author and I really really look forward to reading more of her works in the future.
