Some fires are lit to cleanse.
This one was lit to remember.
In the remote village of Watuwulan, where banyan trees whisper secrets and shadows walk among the living, an ancient fire ritual known as Serak Geni is performed to ward off forgotten evils. For generations, the villagers believed the flames protected them, until one night, the ritual failed.
When Tari, a young woman burdened by her family's past, returns home after years away, she discovers that the fire has begun to behave strangely. It burns without fuel. It reflects memories no one speaks of. And it calls her by name.
As long-buried truths resurface and ancestral scars crack open, Tari must descend into the Spiral Chamber, where an ancient force waits, not to destroy, but to finish what was started centuries ago.
But the fire doesn't just want a sacrifice.
It wants the truth.
And in Watuwulan, truth burns deeper than flame.
Prasanth N.M., master of atmospheric horror, delivers a haunting tale where ritual, memory, and myth collide. Serak Geni is an unforgettable journey through sacred fire and inherited fear, perfect for readers who believe that horror can be both terrifying and beautiful.
