What to read after Magical Creatures Of Mumbai's Underbelly?

In the big city of dreams live creatures most people no longer dream of. One where Medusa creeps through the quarters of a brothel, a cartel of birds burgeons a drug racket; a struggling actor cracks the chromosome to superstardom, and mermen kidnap fishermen by the coastline. Between the cramped by-lanes, behind the glittering skyline, beneath the dirt of the Arabian Sea, ordinary moments take an extraordinary turn as people rub shoulders with magical beings lurking in the shadows.

Some early reviews:

'A powerful anthology that uses evocative prose to skilfully take familiar objects and set them loose within dark, mystical territories.'

-Twinkle Khanna, Best-selling Author -Mrs Funnybones

'A collection of superbly imagined, heady and evocative vignettes that dares to delve into the world of mythical beings, both weird and wonderful, that may lurk beneath the surface of one of the world's most fascinating cities. An essential read for any Mumbaiker.'

-Patrick Graham, Screen writer, Director -Ghoul, Leila, Betaal

‘Consistently funny, and sometimes unexpectedly scary, this book refreshes you, and reminds you what makes reading such an immersive experience.'

-Karunesh Talwar, Comedian
