The popularity of Ghost Stories from the Raj resulted in a number of requests for more this period. Ruskin Bond delved into his archives and came up with another entertaining collection of strange or ‘nightmarish’ tales written by Englishmen who came to India and the East Indies in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Her are spooks, werewolves, dacoits, assassins, man-eating tigers, and head-hunters! And in his Introduction Ruskin Bond tells us why those “mad dogs and Englishmen” went out in the mid-day sun and what happened to some of them! Never a dull moment – and never a dull sentence in this, the eleventh of Rupa’s fast-selling anthologies.

Book Description
Right Behind You is a collection of 13 horror stories of different genres. The thing that connects these stories is the emotion of our inner fears that resides in all of us. We might mask these fears, we might even deny them, but they emerge when least expected and then they begin to encroach upon every aspect of our lives. In this collection of assorted horror stories, you will find noir horror, urban myths, fantasies, campfire tales, stories of phobias, gore, and even a story that takes place entirely on chat. An e-horror story, if you could call it that. Just like a rollercoaster is a source of unexpected adventure and you won’t find its shocks and thrills unless you actually ride on it, you won’t get the real experience of Right Behind You unless you read it. So, sit back, fasten your seatbelts, and plunge into the drive.

Book Description
The world was slowly dissolving into chaos, When a zaralia stumbled in. But not this world, A world with magic that would make your head spin. Celestia - a world of pixies, With four kingdoms that flourished. Sprawling forests, shimmering lakes, And rulers who were cherished. The wane began when the great king of Emberglass, The kingdom of Infernos in the north, Was murdered with his wife and eldest daughter, alas, Leaving young princess Zyra to rule forth. No sooner had the queen ascended her throne, That she dropped her sweet façade. She killed, looted and pillaged, And burnt down the cities that were in her eyes, deeply flawed. What happened next is unclear, For the kingdom was shrouded in magic and mist, The people could not rebel for fear, That the queen would hunt them if they resist. What happens next must be seen, Can Adaire, Sapphire and Faye, Defeat the evil queen, And keep evil at bay?
