Seven Indian authors. Seven stories of the eerie, the gruesome, the demonic, and the melty.
Ever watched a girl you barely know get eaten alive by murder hornets in the mess hall? Ever spoken to a dead guy who came home to tell you about the demon who killed him? Ever had your lover abducted by a bogeyman riding a kohl-black rooster the size of an autorickshaw? Ever tried to reconstitute your best friend after he was melted down in a softie machine?
If you've never had any of these experiences... have you even travelled? There are exotic manifolds hovering close around you, and even stranger realms that lurk within.
The Bandigoat will take you there.
Don't think twice. Blink thrice.
