Description
Ghosts, Monsters and Demons of India is an illustrated guide to the folktales and real-life stories of the country's rich tradition and legends. Spanning across India from Ladakh to Kerala, Lakshadweep to Nagaland, this comprehensive collection features 60 spooky illustrations of evil entities and folkloric fiends. Inside, you'll discover a range of eerie tales, including those of killer robots built with stolen Roman engineering technology, ghostly motorcyclists, and diabolical entities conjured into existence by the simultaneous deaths of seven tigers. Other stories include Himalayan drum-playing spirit-teachers, Vedic necromancers, and the dreaded Ngalei Ahmaw of Maraland. With its unique blend of folklore and real-life stories, Ghosts, Monsters and Demons of India is a fascinating exploration of India's darker side.
