The Aghori's Curse: A well-crafted tale that pleases thriller buffs and beyond

Godwin’s The Aghori's Curse is never less than compelling. If you’re fan of the thriller genre,
this one will keep you on the edge of your seat.

The novel opens without the typical jump scare clichés often found in today’s thriller. Instead, it
opens—quite unexpectedly but definitely refreshing— with the garish neon lights of Bollywood
and the never-ending demand for romantic comedies. It follows the story of director Dibankar
and actress Anika Chauhan, as they navigate the world of Bollywood and finally, finding
themselves trapped in the disturbing world of Aghori.

Godwin’s novel conjures a persistent atmosphere of sheer dread. Its storytelling is patient,
rejecting the cheap tricks of unexpected and lazy depictions of fear. Instead, it gets under your
skin and allows your mind to piece together the clues only to unravel a mystery that is grounded
on an existent Aghori lore. Godwin’s Aghori Curse is a thriller that is not only supplied with
well-written dialogue, often surprisingly a mixture of wit and suspense, but it also seamlessly
weaves its suspenseful plot into a brilliantly effective and entertaining thrill ride.
