Thriller, detective and mystery novels and stories have held a supreme position in Bengali literature. There was a time when various weekly magazines would be published around the theme of ‘ Rahasya-Romancho-Goenda ‘ . Some contained true incidents while others had a pulp fiction feel. These magazines were greatly devoured by readers. Sadly, the 80s saw the end of these magazines. Anish Deb has painstakingly collected and compiled 100 of these rare gems from their halcyon days in this book, Rahasya Romancho Goenda Patrikar Sera 100 Golpo. Some of the notable authors in this book are Narayan Gangopadhyay, Nihar Ranjan Gupta, Subodh Ghosh, Tarasankar Bandyopadhyay, Parimal Goswami, Premendra Mitra, Saradindu Bandyopadhyay,Narayan Sanyal, Sunil Gangopadhyay, Bhaskar Raha, Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay, Abhijit Dutta and so on. A treasure trove indeed !
