BOOK REVIEW :

Friendship that outlives death. Bonds that reincarnate. And a haunting legacy buried beneath Goan sands. “Bogey Bonhomie” is not your conventional horror novel; it’s a deeply layered narrative where nostalgia, loyalty, and the supernatural blend into an eerie yet emotional journey across time.

The story begins in 1961, in the lush, fading world of Portuguese Goa. Two inseparable friends — Ray and Roy, set out on a daring windsurfing experiment, unaware that their fate is tied to something far more sinister than the ocean’s pull. When the Portuguese rule collapses, survival becomes a test not only of courage but of destiny itself.

Years later, their spirits return, reborn as Kuber Savla, Yug Ikani, Prahlad Ahuja, Siddharth Bhandari, and Som Sarkaar, five schoolboys in bustling Bombay. Their friendship mirrors the eternal bond of Ray and Roy, but the echoes of their past lives begin to resurface in mysterious, sometimes terrifying ways. From a school picnic gone wrong in Matheran to an unexpected discovery of a buried Portuguese treasure, their lives become a chilling dance of déjà vu, destiny, and dread.

Every part of the book, from Echo from Goa to The Bogey and The Bonhomie, feels like peeling through layers of reincarnation and guilt. The prose is vivid and cinematic, and the illustrations scattered throughout the book add a visual weight that deepens the unease. They’re not just drawings; they feel like whispers from the past, trying to remind the reader (and the characters) of something forgotten.

What makes Sun: Jeev’s storytelling stand out is how he uses horror as a metaphor, not merely to scare, but to explore the haunting nature of friendship, betrayal, and the human longing for closure. There’s a psychological undercurrent to every supernatural event, blurring the line between memory and haunting.

As the story spirals toward its finale, the question remains: can friendship survive even death, or does it sometimes become the very thing that refuses to let go?

Lastly, “Bogey Bonhomie” is a hauntingly beautiful fusion of horror, history, and human emotion. It’s as much about the ghosts within us as it is about the ones around us. Perfect for readers who enjoy multi-generational mysteries, psychological horror, and stories where friendship turns into fate’s most chilling echo.
