About the Book

This collection of eight stories by Kunal Basu takes readers on an extraordinary journey through unforeseen terrors, surreal comedies, apocalypses, and the sublime poetry of everyday life. Each tale is a masterpiece of storytelling, filled with rich, vivid imagery and the complexities of human nature.

Among the stories, a disgruntled trucker embarks on a mission to kill his rival but becomes an unlikely hero for migrant workers during a pandemic. A novice jailor learns that redemption is always within reach, while a corpse found on a beach leads a trail across continents, filled with intrigue and mystery. In another story, the nude paintings of a dead artist set the stage for a murder, while a hunt for a terrorist turns into a dangerous game. Other stories explore profound themes, including innocence, wisdom, and the power of fate.

With elements of light and shadow, sounds and silence, Basu’s tales feature characters who, like unruly actors, take on lives of their own in a world filled with unexpected twists.
