What if the most frightening sound isn’t a scream—but complete silence? This chilling question lies at the heart of Veerangarh: Where Silence Screams, the debut horror novel by Ritu Jarwal, released on January 19, 2025, by BlueRose Publishers. With its atmospheric storytelling and psychological depth, the book marks the arrival of a promising new voice in Indian horror fiction.
Unlike conventional horror stories that rely on loud scares and graphic imagery, Veerangarh chooses a subtler, more unsettling approach. It explores how silence can hide secrets, magnify fear, and slowly consume the human mind. The novel invites readers into a world where what remains unspoken is far more dangerous than what is revealed.
A Village Haunted by the Past
Set in a mysterious village overshadowed by an ancient mansion, Veerangarh revolves around the haunting legend of Mohini, a restless spirit bound by lost love, betrayal, and unfinished truths. Years ago, her terror seemingly came to an end, and the village returned to a fragile calm. But peace built on suppressed secrets never lasts.
The story takes a dark turn with the arrival of Nitin, an outsider whose presence disrupts the village’s uneasy silence. As he begins to uncover hidden layers of the past, he is pulled into a terrifying chain of events involving time loops, fear, and buried realities. With every revelation, the silence of Veerangarh grows heavier—and deadlier.
Psychological Horror That Lingers
Blending mystery, psychological horror, and suspense, Veerangarh: Where Silence Screams offers a gripping reading experience for horror enthusiasts and young readers alike. The fear in the novel does not rely on sudden shocks; instead, it slowly builds through atmosphere, emotion, and unanswered questions.
Author Ritu Jarwal uses silence as a powerful narrative tool, transforming empty spaces, pauses, and unspoken memories into sources of dread. This layered storytelling ensures that the horror lingers in the reader’s mind long after the book is finished.
A Promising Debut
For a debut novel, Veerangarh demonstrates strong control over pacing, mood, and suspense. It appeals to readers who enjoy intelligent horror, folklore-inspired mysteries, and psychologically engaging narratives.
Veerangarh: Where Silence Screams is now available on Amazon, Flipkart, and Kindle in multiple formats, making it accessible to readers across platforms.
In a genre full of noise, Veerangarh dares to be silent—and that is what makes it truly terrifying.
