The Mine by Arnab Ray
If you’re looking for a gore-fest, look no further. As my first foray into reading horror by an Indian writer, The Mine did not 
disappoint. Centered on a group of five miners through their descent into caves beneath a recently destroyed ancient place of worship, the story reignites our fascination with the underground as a realm of horrific mysteries. Bloody, claustrophobic, and gripping from the first page to the last, The Mine has all of the pulpy feel of films like The Descent and The Hills Have Eyes with gruesome details layered at every turn. Clever plot twists keep the story chugging along through the individualized hellscapes of the mine that will leave the reader feeling just as paranoid as the characters trapped underground.
