The popularity of Ghosht Stories from the Raj resulted in a number of requests for more stories from this period. Ruskin Bond delved into his archives and came up with another entertaining collection of strange or nighmarish tales written by Englishmen who came to India and the East Indies in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Here are spooks, werewolves, dacoits, assassins, man eating tigers, and head hunters and in his Introduction R B tells us why those made 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 fast selling anthologies.
