Muhnochwa - The Face Scratcher

A terrifying creature called Muhnochwa-the "face scratcher"-is haunting the village at night. People are terrified. But while villagers panic, some discover ways to profit from the fear.

A priest sells Muhnochwa Safety Amulets. A moneylender introduces a bizarre "Muhnochwa Risk Tax." Local thugs disguise themselves as Muhnochwa to rob innocent people. Even the frightened police station officer tries to turn the villagers' fear into an opportunity.

But the real story belongs to two rival teams of brave children.

Instead of simply believing the terrifying stories spreading through the village, these children decide to uncover the truth for themselves. Their rivalry pushes them into a thrilling race to discover what-or who-is really behind Muhnochwa.

Can these fearless young investigators uncover the truth behind Muhnochwa-a terrifying mystery that has spread across the villages and surrounding areas?

And what will they discover when they finally bring the truth about Muhnochwa into the light?

Shivanand

Fifteen years after making a mistake he deeply regrets, Shivanand refuses to repeat it.

When a ten-year-old boy named Aditya throws a stone at a police officer after hearing Shivanand's words, Shivanand realizes that his mission must change. He no longer wants to become the hero himself.

Instead, he wants to awaken the hero in every ordinary citizen.

Because one hero can be destroyed.

But what happens when an entire population discovers its courage?

The Truth

During meditation, a strange sensation repeatedly travels through the narrator's body-from the lower spine toward the back of the brain. A mysterious energy seems to awaken within him, only to suddenly disappear, leaving him frustrated and searching for answers.

Is it a spiritual experience?

A neurological phenomenon?

Or something far more mysterious?

Antas

Criminals fear the police.

Corrupt officials fear investigations.

But thieves, murderers, terrorists, corrupt officers, and corrupt politicians have another reason to be afraid:

Antas.

His hypnotic power is unlike anything they have ever encountered. Once someone falls under his influence, escaping without being transformed into an honest, dutiful, and loyal citizen seems impossible.

And strangely enough, nobody wants to be reformed.

U R MINE...

Joy is afraid of lizards. He hates darkness. He can't stand up to local bullies.

But when Julie is in danger, everything changes.

For her, he would face a dinosaur, enter a graveyard on a moonless night, and challenge the mafia.

He loves Julie.

But Julie calls him "Gogo."

Then comes Buka-a ghost with his own deadly intentions toward Julie. Buka and Joy have completely different reasons for wanting to rescue her, yet their immediate goal is the same: getting Julie away from the monks who hold her captive.

A human and a ghost.

Two enemies.

One impossible mission.

And perhaps the strangest alliance either of them could have imagined.

If you enjoy mystery, supernatural intrigue, humor, romance, social commentary, brave young heroes, suspense, and unexpected twists, this collection offers stories where nothing is quite what it seems.
