Book Description
Description When Swadesh Deepak-celebrated Hindi playwright and short-story writer- arrives at PGI, Chandigarh, after having tried to set himself on fire, the doctors don't know if he belongs in the burns unit or in the psychiatric ward. He's living a 'curse'. A dangerous seductress-his Mayavini-is taking revenge for his insulting rebuff at her wish to visit with him the famous lovers' palace in Mandu. She comes to him at night, sometimes with three white leopards, and she leaves the smell of her body in his nostrils. When he tries to kill himself, she tells him he will not die. He is firmly in her clutches, but he will tolerate anything for her, from humiliation at the hands of acquaintances to carnivorous worms under his skin. This fractured, shattering narrative-among the most unusual books ever published in India-records Deepak's descent into madness and his brief, uncertain recovery. Shortly after it was published, he left home for a walk one morning and never returned. As the translator, Jerry Pinto, writes in his introduction: '[Deepak's] words carry all the scars of who he was and what his illness had made of him... His voice echoes from the bottom of a well.'

Rise of the Demon Inferno
Author: Tamara Mayo
Publisher: Taevo Publishing
ISBN: 0988908271
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 669
Book Description
Mankind’s destiny is reaching the tipping point . . . Siblings Luke, Matt, and Shana Carter are not happy they have to move from Philadelphia to a small town in South Carolina when their mom loses her job. But they quickly realize that fitting in at their new high school is the least of their worries. Because a war is being waged in their new hometown . . . one that began long ago between two sisters who are now battling for the fate of humanity itself. On one side is Laraii, who’s increasing her power by turning everyone at their high school—and in the entire county—into demons she controls. On the other side is Naya, the seventeen-year-old Goddess of Flames whose soul has lived parallel to mankind since the dawn of humanity. Part angel, part demon, and part human, she belongs nowhere, abandoned by her family and isolated in her mission to protect humankind from the demon world. Outnumbered by the exponentially growing demon population, she’s determined to save the souls of the remaining humans with only the help of Ana and Carlo, two demon-human hybrids. Now suddenly thrust into this ancient war are the Carters, whose growing friendship with Naya will put their lives—and their souls—in danger. What began in ancient days when supernaturals and humans intermingled comes to an earth-shattering climax as the physical and spiritual realms collide in an epic tale of good versus evil.

Kat Mandu's Holistic Advertising Agency
Author: Carla Gandy
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595216145
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 325
Book Description
Cooper James is not into tai chi, tarot or transactional analysis. She’s into traveling—or thought she was. On the final leg of an around-the-world trip, she finds herself on the island of Maui and nearly loses what she once thought of as her sanity. Her plans for staying in a cheap motel and lying on the beach are abruptly waylaid when she becomes nanny of three free-spirited kids, the guardian of an Esoteric Cat, and the target of new-age therapists who want to Shift her Energy. This was not what she had in mind for the grand finale of her years of independent travel. Determined to make her own way (it might look a lot like rebellion to the untrained eye), she changes her name to Kat Mandu and opens her own business—The Holistic Advertising Agency. She imparts otherworldly wisdom to her clients based on Coffee-Ground Readings, Uno Card Spreads, and the psychic channelings from the Queen of Cats, Cleopatra. Finally, she has found what she never knew she was looking for: a soapbox on which to stand, a mighty sword to release her from the bonds of mediocrity: Holistic Advertising (HA)—a recently made-up ancient tradition.
