A rollicking, rip-roaring ride through the world of Gujarati pulp! This collection of short stories and novellas from Gujarat's bestselling adventure, horror, and mystery writers was funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign in Jan-Feb 2024. 

The anthology includes Kaal Kundali by H.N. "Atom" Golibar, known for his supernatural-tinged crime thrillers; Varunlokma by Bansidhar Shukla, which features genetically-altered mermen in a secret undersea empire; two stories by Ekta Nirav Doshi, famous for her folk horror about khavis and haunted forts; Bar Dancer by Vibhavari Verma, a revenge fantasy set in the Mumbai underworld and a story by Kanu Baghdev, one of the most prolific Gujarati writers of all time. 

In addition, the book features a section of colour plates with a gallery of cover art, as well as original black-and-white art for Kaal Kundali by prolific Gujarati magazine illustrator G. Sandhwani.
