Description
The ghosts are everywhere.
Most are ghosts of ideas, feelings, memories. These are our personal ghosts,
and they follow us alone.
But there are other ghosts, in which we share a common fear. Thickening
shadows pooling at the corner of the room, unexplained breathing in the dark,
the child who steps out of an old photo-the shiver of supernatural frisson, a
thin crooked finger of ice tracing its way down your spine. This fear, and thrill,
is rightfully the domain of the kind of ghost you will meet in this book.
In Taranath Tantrik, Devalina Mookerjee translates nine stories of the uncanny
and occult by legendary Bengali storyteller, Bibhutibhushan. Seven are short
stories of séance, curses, return for revenge, and the desire for things that
have no place in human lives. Two are about tantra, of necromancy, spiritual
power, goddesses, and ghosts.
The borders of reality are porous in this world.
