One visit. One house. A lifetime of haunting memories. At Bhondul Uncle’s House is a
quietly chilling short story by Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay — one of Bengal’s most
revered literary masters — now brought into English for the very first time.
A young boy is sent to his uncle’s remote village home for a brief stay. But what begins
as a quiet visit slowly unravels into something darker. Whispers in the dark. Shifting
shadows. A silence that thickens with time.
Translator Naim Uddin renders the tale in spare, atmospheric prose — preserving the
mystery, melancholy, and quiet dread of the original. Perfect for readers of literary ghost
stories, psychological suspense, and slow-building horror.
