Whether you are looking for some year-end reads or gifting options this Christmas season, December brings an impressive line-up of new releases to get your hands on. Here some of the books releasing this month:
The Mahatma on Celluloid : A Cinematic Biography
Prakash Magdum's book, published by HarperCollins, will offer readers an insight into the rich world of documentaries, films and newsreels made on Mahatma Gandhi.
Gandhi himself resisted cinema but became the subject of many works throughout the years. Magdum will, in several chapters, explore cinema's reverence for Gandhi.
Wait is over…Pleased to announce my book narrating an unusual story of man who didn’t like cinema but has been filmed the most! Order your copy now. #MahatmaGandhi @HarperCollinsIN @swatichopra1 The Mahatma on Celluloid: A Cinematic Biography https://t.co/W4rcV5BX73Related stories

“With his entire life story being revisited on screen (all at once) there was little room to retell this any other way," the author told Mid-Day newspaper. "That’s when filmmakers started to dissect and interpret his personality, views and relationships."
The book will be available on Amazon starting December 15.

Never has the need to slow down in life and take breaks been felt more strongly than in Covid times. Visual designer Ahlawat Gunjan's book will help you observe, reflect and practice techniques crafted to reconnect with lost instincts.

A History of Fear
Thriller fans might want to grab Luke Dumas' "disorienting, paranoia-inducing" book about an American student arrested for murder in Scotland. The book delves into the darkness of human psyche, combining a dreadful atmosphere with fast-paced storytelling.
#SundayScaries hit me hard when I realized my book's being published in just over a week. Now's your last chance to pre-order A HISTORY OF FEAR and have it on release day, 12/6. https://t.co/mDVAp9hZgL pic.twitter.com/t0R02jteex— Luke Dumas (@TheNewDumas) November 27, 2022
