Hell's BountyHell's Bounty by Joe R. Lansdale
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Thnx netgalley and SUBTERRANEAN PRESS for giving me a copy to read and review.
this is an odd book. Nothing much happen. I dont know wethere lansdale brothers wanted to write a westerner or vampire or horror story. quill looks like a winged vampire who creates havoc. sample this
"Quill came in through into the saloon, flexing his leather wings. He was bigger than before and had taken on a mummified look, as if he had been wet down good and dried in the sun. Had more teeth than before, more teeth every time they saw him , more teeth than a mouth should hold; they poked in all directions. The piano stopped playing, and except for a long, slow fart easing out of a ghoul’s foul digestion, the saloon was as silent as the face of the moon."
thus is a pretty average read.

Review of Ashadh Ka Ek Din by Mohan Rakesh

Ashadh Ka Ek Din (Hindi: आषाढ़ का एक दिन , One Day in the season of rain) is a debut Hindi play by Mohan Rakesh in 1958. Since the month of Ashadh (beginning on 22 June and ending on 22 July) is usually the onset period of the monsoon in North India, the name can be understood to mean One day during the Monsoon. The title of the play derives from the opening line of the Sanskrit dramatist Kalidas's play Meghadūta (Sanskrit: मेघदूत literally "cloud (Megh) messenger (Doot)"). The play is divided into three acts. First Act: The love of poet Kalidas and Mallika is not approved by Mallika's mother, Ambika. At this time, Kalidas has composed his first long poem Ritusambar. He wins recognition in the court of Ujjaini and the king has sent his horsemen to bring him. Another villager by the name of Vilom (also interested in Mallika) says that if Kalidas leaves for Ujjaini, he must take Mallika along. Kalidas, however, does not wish to go from the mou...

Review of Suraj Ka Satvan Ghoda

“Suraj Ka Satvan Ghoda” literally means “The seventh horse pulling the chariot of the sun.” It is one of the books of which I first saw the movie and then read the book. Movie by Shyam Benegal is brilliant so is Manik Mulla played by Rajat Kapoor. Usually in case of movie adaptations of literature movie is disappointing. But in this rare case both are brilliant. The novel is in narration style where Manik Mulla (name is very suggestive Hindu and Muslim both) tells story of failed romance of three women, to his friends on seven lazy summer afternoons. There are three heroines Jamuna (a simple middle class homely girl), Leela or Lily (the intellectual, independent, strong, feminist) and Satti (a feisty lower class woman). All three were in love with Manik Mulla at different points of time. Jamuna couldn’t marry her lover Tanna, because he is a coward and subsequently married off to an old man who dies. Widow Jamuna finds solace and happiness in extramarital r...

The book is provided by Arudha Club in exchang for a genuine review. The Girl Who Knew Too Much: What if the Loved One You Lost Were to Come Back? by   Vikrant Khanna Book Cover: The cover is showing a girl walking on some kind of bridge to a jungle.
