The literary genres of mystery and thriller are perhaps the only two genres that can give a rush of a variety of emotions in the readers at the same time. They can not help but feel multiple emotions at the same and also have nail-biting moments that would not just give them chills but also keep them rooted and fixed to the books they read. One such anthology replete with such experiences and powerful content is “The Facade,” edited and compiled by Rashi Aggarwal. The title is short, crisp, and precisely describes the content that is to follow.
The anthology features young, talented, and promising writers who showcase their potential to become literary giants in the coming times. Their style of writing and narration takes the readers’ minds on a spin, and they are unable to keep their hands off the book even for a moment. The authors opt to keep the stories short, but even in limited space, they pack all possible ideas to involve the readers are close as they can.
The anthology features 19 stories but they are more than enough to raise the imagination of the readers to higher levels when almost every story is left on a note of suspense with deliberately left loose threads here and there. This is one of the features that adds to the charm of “The Facade,” and introduces the readers to the different sides and stories of life that may have otherwise been left unsaid. Some stories like the three parts of “Turning of Abigail Frost” by Shel Henderson make sure that the readers find themselves biting their nails and being lost in wonderland trying to understand the baffling situations they are put into. Other such powerful tales include “The Façade” by Rashi Aggarwal, “The Last Move” by Suraj Singh Sisodia, “Cheating” by Dr. Anurag Awasthi and many others. The editor has carefully chosen the stories and placed them one after the other with prudence. Readers who are fond of works giving them chills down their spines should take “The Facade,” for reading.
