A small collection of ten short stories, all focused on supernatural themes, ghosts, and horror. Vivid and spectacular descriptions spook the reader, while the characters and events burrow new insights into the human psychological depths. I particularly liked the three stories - "thambi" (dealing with a case of split personality syndrome), "kural" and "Ruby" (both dealing in supernatural scenarios with animals, thereby bringing an extra layer of sinister unease.) ]]> UserStatus1074505042 Wed, 04 Jun 2025 11:47:11 -0700 <![CDATA[ Meenakshisankar is on page 143 of 177 of Pei Kathaigalum Devathai ]]> Pei Kathaigalum Devathai Kathaigalum by ஜெயமோகன் Meenakshisankar M is on page 143 of 177 of <a href="/book/show/33231095-pei-kathaigalum-devathai-kathaigalum">Pei Kathaigalum Devathai Kathaigalum</a>. ]]> ReadStatus9499160929 Mon, 02 Jun 2025 06:12:07 -0700 <![CDATA[Meenakshisankar is currently reading 'Pei Kathaigalum Devathai Kathaigalum']]> /review/show/7621048818 Pei Kathaigalum Devathai Kathaigalum by ஜெயமோகன் Meenakshisankar is currently reading Pei Kathaigalum Devathai Kathaigalum by ஜெயமோகன்

It is a comprehensive critique of Kannadasan's poems (outside of his song lyrics). The author gives praise where it is due, but also vehemently criticizes elements of the poetry which does not stand up to scrutiny. Although, in the final chapter, he provides a summary and cements his assessment of Kannadasan's standing as one of the foremost figures in modern Tamil culture, particularly in the Dravidian movement. ]]> Rating861628543 Tue, 27 May 2025 06:07:10 -0700 <![CDATA[Meenakshisankar M liked a userstatus]]> /

I'm a big fan of Spider-Man as one of my favorite superheroes. This is a brilliant reinvention of his storyline, setting Peter Parker as a middle-aged man, happily married to MJ with kids, who never became Spidey because due to a mysterious event, never got bitten by the radio-active spider all those years ago. Now, suddenly he is thrust into becoming the friendly neighborhood superhero by a mysterious Tony Stark from another reality who is trying to bring back all the superheroes who never were. Incredible story telling in this first volume collection of six issues setting up the plot with beautiful illustrations, with all the usual characters of Uncle Ben, editor JJ Jameson, Gwen Stacy, Harry Osborne, all reimagined into the plot very nicely. I am eager to read the next volume which will finish this lovely retelling. ]]> Review7587523859 Mon, 26 May 2025 08:54:32 -0700 <![CDATA[Meenakshisankar added 'Ultimate Spider-Man, Vol. 1: Married With Children']]> /review/show/7587523859 Ultimate Spider-Man, Vol. 1 by Jonathan Hickman Meenakshisankar gave 5 stars to Ultimate Spider-Man, Vol. 1: Married With Children (Paperback) by Jonathan Hickman
