An Anthology of the Best Ghost Stories from Bengal Vol. II

The supernatural has long provided writers with a way to explore what lies beneath the surface of everyday life. Moving beyond strict realism, these stories give shape to fears, memories, longings, and losses that are otherwise difficult to name. From The Haunting of Hill House and Wuthering Heights to Sharadindu's Baroda stories, the eerie becomes a powerful mode of storytelling—one that engages deeply with trauma, memory, desire, and grief.
Fifteen supernatural stories in this collection by stalwarts such as Panchkari Dey, Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay, Manik Bandopadhyay, Syed Mustafa Siraj, and Achintya Kumar Sengupta among others, invite us to rethink what we call the ghostly, the surreal, and the uncanny.
