A few years back I tried dark chocolates as the healthier alternative to the usual chocolates. I did not like them. I also tried Guiness Stout, the dark beer. I did not like it either. Then I read The Parijat Tree and other stories by Sameer Nagarajan. I loved it.
The book is a collection of 10 short stories by the writer. Each story starts with a routine life for the protagonist(s). As the story progresses, a least expected dark twist creeps up to you. After the first story, I was looking forward to a dark ending in each of the stories; it was still unanticipated when it came.
A collection of short stories with deliciously dark endings.
