Acknowledgement

With heartfelt gratitude, I wish to begin by acknowledging the benevolence of the Almighty for bestowing upon me the strength, knowledge, abilities, and opportunities that have allowed me to pen down this story.

Life's journey for me has been anything but smooth, often presenting formidable challenges and unfavourable circumstances. However, despite these trials, I have remained steadfast in my commitment to writing, buoyed by the presence of a select few eminent individuals who have graced my life as cherished friends and unwavering supporters. Their words of wisdom and unflagging motivation have been the driving force behind my unyielding pursuit of the art of storytelling. It is with deep gratitude that I extend my heartfelt appreciation to Mrs. Papia Ghosh (Pal) and Dr. Janardan Ghosh, whose guidance and encouragement have been the cornerstone of my writing journey. They have also, in their roles as earnest and astute critics, consistently propelled me forward.

In the realm of memory and influence, I hold dear two individuals who departed from this world prematurely, yet whose impact on my writing career remains everlasting. Late Sri Satadal Lahiri's invaluable ideas and suggestions have undoubtedly enriched my creative work, while Late Sri Puspen Mukherjee's visionary belief in my potential as an author has illuminated my path in this literary expedition. To both of these departed souls, I offer my deepest respects and tributes.

The role played by Ukiyoto Publication in bringing this book to fruition cannot be overstated. Their dedicated efforts have transformed my aspirations into a tangible reality, and for this, they have my most sincere and profound gratitude.

PREFACE

In life, rare incidents often push us to question the boundaries of the supernatural. The fear of the unknown can keep us awake at night, shivering at the thought of what lurks in the darkness. While science may attempt to rationalize the bizarre, some occurrences defy explanation, leaving us haunted by shadows and whispers in the night.

Across centuries and continents, encounters with the unknown have been reported, even shaking the most stoic among us. Not everything can be dismissed as mere coincidence when faced with phenomena that defy logical explanation. The existence of both positive and negative forces is evident, regardless of differing perceptions.

It can't happen to me, we reassure ourselves, until a moment of sheer terror paralyzes body and soul, reminding us of the depths of horror found only in nightmares. Yet, nightmares are fleeting; they dissipate with the dawn, the flick of a light switch, or the comforting sounds of everyday life.

Nightmare's Embrace is not just a collection of terrifying tales; it's a journey into a realm where nightmares become reality, where the presence of a benevolent deity offers no solace. Fear, the primal emotion that courses through our veins, often originates within our minds, gripping us with an intensity unmatched by external forces.

Within these pages, we invite you to explore the darkest recesses of human imagination, where adrenaline surges and thrills await. Whether you believe in positive forces or acknowledge the existence of dark entities, these spine-chilling stories will leave an indelible mark, taking you on a tour of a world where the line between
