Karma by Abhirup Dhar is a haunting supernatural thriller set in the misty hills of Darjeeling, where the past and present collide in disturbing ways. The story begins with six-year-old Ricky, whose life changes after a terrifying night in his family’s new home. What seems like a bad dream soon turns into a series of unexplainable events. The family is forced to seek a psychic’s help and uncover secrets that defy reality. Decades later, the same house becomes home to Karma and Sakshi. Trapped inside during a violent storm, they are cut off from the outside world as sinister forces awaken around them. As fear intensifies, the house reveals its dark history. This raises unsettling questions about hidden truths, buried memories, and a mysterious connection between Ricky and Karma. Abhirup Dhar excels at creating an eerie atmosphere. He uses isolation, weather, and setting to heighten tension. The antique mirror serves as a powerful symbol. It links timelines and reveals the inescapable grip of the past. More than a horror novel, Karma explores themes of fate, death, and unresolved truths. Chilling, intense, and thought-provoking, Karma is a compelling read that lingers with the reader long after the final page.
