ABOUT THIS BOOK

‘As i turned from the mirror, i thought i saw someone, something, some reflection other than
mine, move behind me in the mirror. […] but when i looked in the mirror again there was
nothing to be seen but my own pallid face.’

capable of sinister actions? Are you convinced that mysteries lurk in the most unexpected corners
of the world, from idyllic forest pools to cheery, loyal gardeners?
The Mystery Omnibus brings together a wide range of Ruskin Bond’s eeriest stories and essays about
the mysteries of our world through his evocative and atmospheric prose. Plunge into the eclectic
range of Bond’s best horror and mystery writing, full of strange and inexplicable happenings that
are bound to send a chill down your spine.
