What readers are saying
“What happens when you combine four daring teenagers with a haunted house that holds secrets darker than it seems? You get Andaleeb Wajid’s spine-chilling graphic novel, ‘Scare Walk’. What starts as youngsters Angelina, Ishaan, Veera and Dhruv venturing into a Halloween-themed scare walk becomes a sinister story of facing your fears and what happens to you in the process.”

Read the full review“This seemingly innocuous question sets off a series of unfortunate events for a group of four youngsters living in Bengaluru. Driven by a mix of curiosity and thrill-seeking, four teenagers set out for a Halloween scare walk expecting nothing more than jump scares. However, Andaleeb Wajid’s dexterity for horror scenarios gives Scare Walk (HarperCollins) an altogether different dimension, where things are nothing like they seem. Eerie storytelling comes together with the vibrancy of graphic illustrations by master designer Upamanyu Bhattacharyya. The book stands out not just for its spine-tingling narrative but also for its innovative use of visual elements like the garish red cover and dark backgrounds, creating an immersive reading experience.”
