The title story is the only story that is common with the previous edition of this book, others are new. But just like the first edition the inner shade of this book is dark too, most of the stories in it are dark. About witches, demons and un-deads who drain livings so they could live on, tragedies of past that won’t rest… and a few more strokes of darkness for you!

Waves that became songs rewritten for kindle and createspace: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WNZ63Z6 kin $ 1.07 Poetry is something which can be felt, not expressed. Not only that, sometimes poet speaks about something and reader reads something absolutely different. So, my joy is writing and hoping they will give you something to keep inside. The poems are versatile, not sticking to some specific genre, I personally think that genre-based books are nice, but if you are writing for everyone then it is wiser to have versatility. So I follow that policy in my short story and poetry books. from my readers (about the previous version) Troy ( https://www.amazon.com/author/troyloy ) reviewed waves that became songs (old version) I enjoyed this! July 5, 2015 As a collection of poems, this one was a pleasure to read through, while taking in the authoress's evocative imagery, which supplemented the text wonderfully!

sfulingo https://shoptly.com/i/ro7 　 ABOUT THE BOOK 　 　 Sfulingo is Annual edition of Agnijaat, my monthly English Ezine. This year it is being published in Shoptly for the first time, hopefully I will have the joy of publishing these issues every year for years to come! 　 This yearly issue contains a set of illustrated Haikus and a bunch of form poems, both are absolutely new for all my readers! Previously unpublished or blogged I mean. 　 The books in Kindle have the same name but the contents are different. Honestly I really don’t enjoy creating for Kindle much, because I love illustrating my books. That is my greater fun in creating. So after creating the books for Amazon (because they do fabulous advertising) I created these two books for shoptly. To create the books I like! 　 There is one fair warning for my wannabe readers or those who check my books in shoptly, you will see LOT of books here, because you must treat my bookstore as the store o

Seventeen https://shoptly.com/i/ros 　 Back when I had lot of time to illustrate I created two forms, Seven and Seventeen. So I could illustrate them to the contentment of my heart and soul. 　 Then with time I could no longer manage the time to illustrate, instead I started word-paintings, trying to capture the scenes with words only. 　 Here are the poems I have shared in my blog in 2018, hope you will enjoy them. Do tell me your views! 　 Happy reading! Sharmishtha Basu 17 th July 2018 Haridebpur, Kolkata

Seven https://shoptly.com/i/ror 　 Back when I had lot of time to illustrate I created two forms, Seven and Seventeen. So I could illustrate them to the contentment of my heart and soul. 　 Then my twin ezines elbowed their way in and captured all the limelight, I still publish them in blogs, without illustration. Here they are at your service, let me know if you like them! 　 The essence of the poems are versatile as always, there is no specific theme, just the poems I blogged compiled together. 　 Happy reading!

In this business, all they had to do was to keep their greed under control. Use their powerful victims only as much as they were ready to without being felt entrapped or cornered. 　 But in case of weaker people, they were ruthless. These were used for the shadiest jobs. 　 They were picked up from the weakest sphere of society, and then used without shame or mercy. 　 They simply did not had the social or mental power to come out of this vicious trap, because they were already well-informed about the deep connection that the gang had with police and underworld. 　 So, Baid always maintained a neat gang of slaves, and referred to them as such with great pleasure. In reality they were, though maybe more trapped then slaves. After all, society pitied slaves; they exploited them ruthlessly, but deep inside they pitied them. On the other hand these people were despised with no rhyme or reason at all, not only by society but by the law. 　 The gang t

A piece from The Soul Devourers Now available in shoptly as Agnimalya Book 9 https://shoptly.com/sharmishthabasu 　 "The names that our parents gave us were Agni (Fire) and Vari (water), yours was Agni, mine Vari, based on our natures, of course; I don’t think you would mind if I call you Agni." Her sister asked. 　 She shrugged. 　 "Who are these people?" she asked. 　 "These people were once human beings. Their greed was too strong, so strong it tempted them into selling their soul to the devil. There is a temple in Gajmahal, where they worship the devil, and have been for centuries. These soul devourers –– yes, that’s what they are called because that’s what they become capable of devouring souls–– souls of their victims are their life-force. That keeps them alive, as some of them are centuries old. Their head priest was one of the first priests of the temple, and has done it for centuries now." 　 "These p

Agnimalya Book 9 The soul devourers https://shoptly.com/i/ro2 Soul Devourer is a story I absolutely loved writing, it is little dark, lot of fantasy and a dash of romance. I quite enjoyed visualizing this story and many of its scene, hope they will impress you! 　 It is a bit romantic, bit dark and lot of fantasy, that is why I loved writing this story so much, the fantasy part gave me lot of fun. Hope it will tickle your fantasy bug too! 　 As you all know these are my creations, copyrighted works, you are free to use them as long as you treat them as my property-mention my name as the creator and leave a link to my blog and inform me with the details of your use (non-profit) or discuss the financial side if you like them enough to publish them in your ezine, blog etc to sell. Just let me know! I absolutely love it when someone likes my works! 　 Happy Reading! 　 With best regards and wishes. Sharmishtha Basu 17.7.18

Agnidal is Agnishatdal’s annual/yearly issue. From this year onwards I am planning to publish two separate books for Shoptly and Amazon. Amazon for publicity and shoptly for creative satisfaction! The issues of this year are same in Kindle and Shoptly, I have deliberately done that to prove how Kindle helps in publicity and Shoptly is the place where I love to create! 　 Agnishatdal is an English, monthly Ezine, a united effort of artists, writers scattered all over the world for creating a book worth keeping. Hoping it will some day be a part of your monthly reading schedule. 　 Its creators come from all spheres of life, so you will get lot of illustrations, poems, stories, thoughts, light and serious essays, cartoons, a dash of spiritualism in this ezine, every month. 　 You will have to read a few to get the idea! 　 Drop me a line after reading them!

AGNIKORAK Price: $1 　 AGNIKORAK is a poetry book lavishly illustrated! That is the difference between SBPnB and Agnikorak, it is dedicated to poetry only. Mainly it will contain short forms of poetry that can be lavishly illustrated, like haiku, senru, seven, seventeen, quatrain etc. I may add free form poetry but later! 　 Main purpose behind this book series is celebrating my brush with the pen, and as I love writing poetry I decided to separate poetry from prose.

Coming Kingdom- A series https://patreon.com/sharmishthabasu 　 It’s a very normal human instinct to trust his own blood, to have faith on his parents, his siblings. A voice inside his soul keeps saying that those people can never mean true harm to him. After all, they were born and brought up together. After all, they brought him to earth. 　 So, when these absolutely unrelated persons kept harassing him, slowly molding his life to a blank sheet, he believed in them, in their love and kinship. K had a piece of the, or the entire, Devil inside him. He loved to inflict pain, to suck happiness from every life he thought he could. 　 K had his branches in every ugly sphere of human deviation. 　 Starting from human trafficking to the underworld, just like the God he thought himself, he sorted these boys and girls and decided the life they would lead. A itsy bitsy piece from the story. 　 Coming Kingdom works are for my patrons only righ
