Estefa: The Paranormal Series

Sunil Kutty Menon presents a collection of seven short stories in Estefa: The Paranormal Series. Published by Notion Press in 2020, this volume explores encounters with spirits who remain modest and loving until they choose to reveal themselves. These entities appear only to select individuals, often to resolve unfinished business or communicate with those capable of feeling them. Menon structures the narrative around a protagonist who develops a unique peripheral vision, allowing him to welcome these supernatural presences and interact with them more deeply. The book examines how spirit sightings intensify when one stops resisting and starts accepting their presence. Each story follows the protagonist’s specific experiences, offering an intriguing look at the mechanics of paranormal interaction. Menon qualifies as the author through this focused exploration of the unseen world, drawing on traditions where spirits are not merely frightening but complex souls seeking connection. The collection is organized as a series of distinct episodes rather than a single continuous plot, allowing readers to observe different facets of these interactions. This work suits readers interested in subtle supernatural fiction and stories about human perception. It may not appeal to those seeking high-octane horror or traditional ghost stories with jump scares. The tone remains grounded in the protagonist’s internal experience rather than external chaos. Menon’s approach invites a quiet contemplation of the boundary between the visible and invisible worlds, focusing on the emotional weight of these encounters.
