Ghost Stories From The Raj contains stories of ghosts that roamed about in the country during the 19th and the 20th century. A treat for lovers of ghost tales, the speciality of the book is that it has stories about all kinds of ghosts, funny, miserable, and scary. However, one thing common about all these ghosts is that they are all entertaining in their own respective rights.
In the book, the author has compiled ghost stories from all over the world. He believes that since ghosts do not require any passport, they can turn up anywhere unexpectedly. The author, therefore, through this book presents the picture of a haunted world as seen through the eyes of outsiders, before independence. His interest in ghost stories was aroused after he read Ghost Stories Of An Antiquary written by M. R. James.
The book was published on the fiftieth anniversary of Ruskin Bond’s first book. It includes stories like The Old Graveyard at Sirur, The Return Of Imray, Caulfield`s Crime, Chunia, The Men Tigers, Haunted Villages, The Summoning Of Arnold, Panther People, and The Pool.ISBN - 9788171679928
