Below the Grate

Bhopal isn't known for horror stories. It's known for lakes, food stalls, narrow lanes, and lazy evening walks. But there's something beneath the city-beneath the very footpaths people sit on to gossip, wait for buses, or scroll through their phones. Covered by metal grates, these water tunnels are meant to drain the monsoon's wrath. But what if something lives down there? Something that crawls, watches, waits...

In this eerie tale spread over 20 tense chapters, we follow Rehan-a regular teenager with a not-so-regular encounter. When his voice recorder falls into a roadside tunnel, he leans down with his flashlight... only to meet an eye staring back at him. That moment sparks a chain of events that slowly reveals Bhopal's darkest secret.

This book is a slow-burn urban horror, where the setting itself becomes a character. It's not just about monsters-it's about fear creeping into the edges of routine. The kind of horror that makes you question the places you think are harmless.
