GHOSTS, MONSTERS, AND DEMONS OF INDIA by Rakesh Khanna and J. Furcifer Bhairav

by: Rakesh Khanna and J. Furcifer Bhairav

Many of us at Cygnus are captivated by our own local folklore so it’s a treat to be able to delve into someone else’s! This lovely hardback book is a comprehensive guide to all the nasties from India, of which there are many; we meet Apasmara, a Hindu demon of ignorance and ego, the Buga, a race of shapeshifting mermen, Mura, a gigantic predatory bird and Rulpui, a fearsome, giant, feathered serpent demon amongst many others. The descriptions are both graphic and informative, but also hugely entertaining with stories and anecdotes about the creatures, and there are lots of black and white illustrations that bring the fiends to life. This may not be quite our usual content, but it’s a really lovely book to have or to give as a gift.
