He thanked Anupam Kher and Jackie Shroff for their support and blessings and said that he hoped his novel would appeal to the readers who enjoy suspense and horror.

Shah and his wife, Binal Shah, were gracious hosts to all the guests, who enjoyed the warm and festive atmosphere of the event.

With “Blood Moon,” Shah has proven his versatility and talent as a writer and has entered the realm of paranormal thrillers with a bang. The novel, published by Om Books International, is available online and in bookstores.
