🌀 About the Book

"Apobastab" (translated: The Distorted Real) by Dipankar Chowdhury is a haunting collection of short stories where reality warps and blends into the surreal. These are not merely tales of the supernatural—they inhabit a plane where no prefix like super, para, or magical can truly define them.

In these pages, you'll encounter:

• A dying child whose fate is manipulated by an otherworldly orchestra and a divine veena.

• The four sons of Brahma and their rakshasa guardian making a sudden appearance aboard a moving train.

• A multi-faced witch and a mysterious old woman who inhabits a child’s body, intruding into the home of a celebrated doctor with sinister motives.

Each narrative defies conventional genre boundaries, offering an unsettling blend of myth, hallucination, and the grotesque—stories that are not just unreal, but beyond the framework of traditional reality.

This book is a rare literary experience for those who enjoy speculative fiction, experimental horror, and psychological mystery in Bengali literature.
