As a lover of horror and stories steeped in mythology, I was thrilled to pick up Dakini by K. Hari Kumar, a book that promises spine-chilling suspense and layers of deeper meaning. And let me tell you, this one delivered on every front. From the very first page, Dakini transports you to the eerie, fictional village of Birpoor, where the myth of Kalibann ki Dakinia, bloodthirsty forest entity, hangs like a dark cloud over the lives of its inhabitants.
