Fairy Bride:
An unnamed fisherman spies fairies from the Moon playing with mermaids in a lake, and in a fit of desire, plots to make one of the beauteous fairies his bride. But his plan goes awry as his chosen bride outsmarts him and returns one last time, with a parting gift from the fairies. I enjoyed this one, well-told even without naming the characters.

The Bungalow:
Mahesh and Manjusha have just bought their new home after returning to India, a home with a forgotten past, one which catches up to Majusha one stormy, horrific night! This one was enjoyably spooky, and would make for a quick reading on Halloween.

The Tribe:
A greedy warlord seeks the kingdom of his nearby rival, and hires a witch to arrange matters more to his liking. Soon, apsaras from the heavens are enlisted to his aid, and things look dire for the rival king as the lovely nymphs subvert his subordinates! Will there be hope for the kingdom?

The woman in White:
A team of investigators is hired to survey an allegedly haunted bar after sightings of an apparition. What is the secret of the place, and what horrors await in the drinking establishment’s basement? I was pleasantly surprised by the group’s findings and the story’s outcome!

Wolf:
A late-night traveler finds he’s being stalked by a wolf, or perhaps something even worse! He finds shelter in an abandoned place, only to be found dead the next week, drained of blood. What lies waiting in the old place, lonely and (un)dead?

Enchanted island:
Young Sukrit meets a mysterious woman, Lekhani, on a seemingly abandoned island after a severe injury and falls in love. Is their love fulfilled after a month apart? The ending to this was good, and better romance than I would write!

The games fair folks play:

The fairy queen Indulekha decides to have a little fun with the mortals, as her subjects play pranks with the lives of cruel and greedy people, their victims replaced by fairies in human form who give them their just desserts!

This month, the Authoress offers picture-poems dedicated more to spiritualism than last month, and in particular homages to the Goddesses Durga, Kali, and if I’m not mistaken from the veena she holds, Laxmi. True devotion!

Welcome to the Poush 1426 review of Agnishatdal!

Bharatendu Harishchandra So, here is one whose linguistic influence was deep and far-reaching. I must look for any published works of his that remain in print, and I suspect that these are more than a few sources I can look on. Rupjibi and Kalambiji Saptarchi criticizes the intellectual failures of modern Indian movies made for money, not the writer’s craft. Masai 1 of 4 Brieuc begins this series on the Masai people

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
