Highlights
Former marketing manager and entrepreneur turned author, Vignesh Sivasankar's new book 'The Ten Commandments of Evil' was published in December 2021. 'The Ten Commandments of Evil' is a collection of 10 spine-chilling horror stories which are inspired by real-life incidents and people's experiences with the supernatural, the author mentions in the introduction.
Just like the Ten Commandments are said to be written by God, the Devil too has his own version of it-- and thus the book's title. Each story in this collection is based on one of these Ten Commandments by the evil forces. The stories in the collection include, according to the blurb, "A childless couple gifted with twins who turn out to be sinister. A girl with an extra-sensory condition starts smelling death. A psychopath chooses a death sentence rather than to get petrified by walls that speak." In each of these stories, the evil supernatural forces are the protagonists. When the devil enters the lives of ordinary people, it causes catastrophes and deaths, thus, unfortunately, winning each time.
Each story is just 20-30 pages long, which makes them perfect for busy readers. The writing is decent, while the story-telling is engaging which keeps one on the edge to know more. If you like reading horror stories or believe in supernatural elements, then do give this book a read.
