Take a horror classic that’s considered foundational, and build a new book on top that’s… a thriller? No one but Ruth Ware could have dared, and gotten away with it. We then move on to a ghost story by someone who’s known for anything but ghosts - Rabindranath Tagore. Or maybe the story’s a metaphor for something else.
This is episode #9 of Bookasur, talking about Domestic Thrillers and Haunted Houses, an author who’s being called a successor to Agatha Christie, and that one Manna Dey song ( I mistakenly call it the Hemant Kumar song in the podcast!!! )
Books featured:
The Turn of the Key, by Ruth Ware, published by Vintage Digital.
The Hungry Stones and Other Stories, by Rabindranath Tagore, on Project Gutenberg.
