Keeda: The shocking body horror short story by India’s Stoker and CWA nominated author (Indian Gothic)

Something’s wrong with Ajay Sharma. He can feel it deep inside him. Growing. Waiting.

It started with a bath. New apartment. Faulty plumbing. A moment alone.

Then came the sensations—impossible ones. Heat, pressure, pleasure. A shifting in his body he couldn’t explain. Arousal that felt alien. Orgasmic flashes with no clear cause. And an overwhelming sense that he’s no longer alone in his own flesh.

Ajay tries to act normal. He goes to work. He talks to his wife. He meets his best friend for brunch. But something in him is changing—fast. And it’s not just physical. There are cravings now. Urges. Strange compulsions he doesn’t remember acting on. But others do.

Bold, unnerving, and darkly erotic, Keeda is a grotesquely intimate tale of body horror, bisexual awakening, and the slow, exquisite loss of control.

Perfect for fans of Titane, The Fly, and Sayaka Murata’s Earthlings.
