Dwelling into childhood horror, creepy pasta, Poe and others.

We dive into horror books - starting with the father and son duo of Stephen King and Joe Hill.

Enid Blyton, Roald Dahl, Ruskin Bond, Hardy boys, Nancy Drew and Harry Potter!

The English childrens' novels we grew up with.

Moving on from graphic novels and comics, we enter the territory of Bala-sahityam or children's literature. From the stories in children's periodicals to translated Russian folktales, this was an entertaining conversation!

We talk about the denser graphic novels - Maus, Persepolis, Watchmen, and V for Vendetta.

We move on, from the nostalgic comics to Adult Graphic novels, with a brief stop at Amar Chitra Katha

We discuss comic masterpieces like Arjun, Secret Agent Vikram, Inspector Garud, Elimani Mundakkayam and Thala Maratte, that shaped our childhood.

We have all had our share of favorite graphic novels and comics. Anup, Krikum, Lekha, and Sandy discuss various comics and graphic novels that influenced them.
