Aadita-- Spoilers from my new horror novel



From Aadita -- A young adult horror novel 

"How could you?"  She demanded out loud.  She pulled herself up and went over to his bedside, but her grandfather wasn't looking at her anymore.  
"He's not in his senses, Raina."
"Did you just hear what he said?"  She asked Ahan.
"Raina, we need to get help."
"He told his own sister to die!  And when she was drowning in front of him, he did nothing to save her!  How could someone hate his own sister that much?"
Ahan took out his cell phone and called for help while Raina felt her head spinning.  Poor Aadita!  Her family hadn't treated her with an ounce of respect and after she had died, they hadn't even bothered to include her in their family pictures and albums.
Raina, sitting down on a chair and in a corner of the room, heard Ahan opening the door to let the other medics in.  As they tended to the unconscious, Raina had a growing realization of why Aadita was saving her.  
Ahan put a gentle hand on her shoulder and she looked up.
"You were right.  Aadita was saving me.  She did need something from me."
Ahan bent down and looked at her.  "What?"
Raina took a deep breath.  "She wanted to save me from becoming another Aadita.  She needed me to understand why she was doing all this."
"Raina, they're your family.  They love you..."
"They don't," Raina replied.  "They were never there for me; they never believed me."
"Look, why don't you go up to your room and get some rest?"  Ahan suggested.
Raina got up and walked over to her grandfather.  She knelt down and spoke in a low voice.  "I can't believe you did this.  I can't believe you said all those things to her.  It's all your fault that Aadita has been haunting us.  It's your fault that Aunt Lily's dead."
"Raina, you shouldn't speak that way to him,"  Ahan said.
Raina ignored him and swallowed.  "From today onwards, I want nothing to do with you.  You never cared anyway, did you?  You probably don't even know my name."
"You're in shock right now," Ahan said.  "Don't say anything you're going to regret."
Raina got up.  "I'm done.  I seriously don't even care anymore."
She walked out the room and towards the front door.
"Where are you going?" Ahan, following, called after her.
"Away from here," she replied.  "Away from everyone."

The Limehouse Golem- My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: When Elizabeth's husband is found dead, all fingers point to her. But is it really her or the work of a serial killer? If like me, you’ve read hundreds of mysteries and are enthused about Sherlock Holmes tales, THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM is actually pretty predictable. Set in the Victorian Era, it promises to instil fear in you. Before Jack the Ripper, there was Golem- such is the tagline and you do want it to be the kind of movie that keeps you guessing until the very end as to the true identity of the killer.   Unlike the Jack the Ripper legend, Golem is easily recognizable in the very first instance the character is introduced.

Delirium (2018)— My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: After leaving the asylum and put in house arrest, Tom begins to believe the house is either haunted or he is hallucinating.  Most times, when we think about criminals, we wonder what could possible have prompted them to fall into a life of crime.

Look Away— my take on the movie with spoilers!

Plot Summary: A bullied girl switches places with her reflection. She soon regrets her decision as people start dying.  What matters most? Looks or confidence? When we see someone for the first time, we do notice their looks, the way they dress. Personality and their ability to initiate and hold a conversation comes second, doesn't it? Imagine meeting someone who is good looking but is dull to the core. Now imagine someone with average looks but is someone you can have fun with or have an intellectual conversation. Which seems more attractive? Look Away takes a very bold stand where appearances are concerned. But also about self-confidence. In the end, the only argument it makes is that one cannot possess both attributes. LOOK AWAY Movie Plot  We are introduced to a timid girl, Maria whose father is a plastic surgeon. Her mother is shown to have no say of her own. She is left to watch her husband ridicule his daughter about not being careful with her looks. Maria has a friend Lily
