Darkness - Paperback

by Vikrant Pande (Author)

A boy who can predict the exact date a person will die... An elderly woman who knows that death is close, but learns how to cheat it...

A child with a dangerous friend who happens to be invisible... A ghost who can't stop reliving his suicide over and over again...

People you'll wish you never have to meet, and stories you'll never forget. Skilfully translated into English for the very first time, these chilling tales from master storyteller Ratnakar Matkari are bound to keep readers of all ages up at night.

With every page you turn, you'll be looking over your shoulder to make sure no one's there. Look again.

Maybe there is!
