In the cryptic realms of literature, Mumbai-based author Meera Bhansali unveils her latest creation, “Nocturnal Frights,” a mesmerizing collection of gothic poems that plunges readers into an eerie world of myths and horror. This captivating anthology explores 13 entities from diverse mythologies and cultures, each brought vividly to life through a haunting series of five poems, offering an immersive experience that transcends the ordinary.
For Bhansali, the journey into the shadows began with a profound desire to follow her earlier work, “Speck.” The inception of “Nocturnal Frights” involved a meticulous year-long odyssey through global myths, literature, and medical anomalies associated with these entities. With a treasure trove of over 2000 poems, Bhansali carefully curated those that resonated with the shortlisted entities. The result is a unique and spectacular collection, a labor of love in her favorite genre.
A self-proclaimed spiritualist, Bhansali’s belief system embraces the coexistence of good and evil, recognizing the nuanced shades of gray within human nature. Her faith extends to the enduring significance of the soul in the grand tapestry of existence. This philosophical underpinning infuses “Nocturnal Frights” with a depth that transcends traditional horror narratives.
