The Bombay Bookshop: The chilling horror short story by India’s Stoker and CWA nominated author (Indian Gothic)
About
A chilling horror short story by the author of The Bombay Lovecraft Society.
In a city where myths sleep lightly beneath the surface, one woman stumbles into a forgotten horror that remembers her name.
When Lisa, a brilliant young artist seeking solace in the shadowed aisles of an old bookstore, discovers a passageway that shouldn’t exist, she thinks she’s found a secret worth treasuring. But what lies beneath the Bombay Bookshop isn’t treasure—it’s worship. And hunger.
Drawn into a hidden world of ancient rites and cosmic devotion, Lisa must confront a truth older than any religion and more terrifying than any monster. As her sense of reality frays and the city’s pulse begins to echo with something darker, Lisa realizes too late: some doors should never be opened, and some goddesses grant no mercy.
Taut, atmospheric, and unnervingly intimate, The Bombay Bookshop is a slow-burn descent into urban myth and cosmic horror—where what’s forgotten doesn’t stay buried, and the final page may be written in blood.
Perfect for fans of Caitlín R. Kiernan, Mariana Enriquez, and Laird Barron.
