Under The Veil

Five Tales of Indian Gothic Horror

Published Copy

Blurb

Stories of women behind the veil.

Unwanted. Unheard. Unseen.

The bride nobody wanted. The mother nobody questioned. The quiet girl in the crumbling haveli. The woman alone on a midnight highway. The wife who never raised her voice.

Everyone had a story about them. No one listened or looked closer.

From the Kumaon hills of 1930 to a Mumbai road today, Under the Veil gathers five tales of Indian Gothic horror, where family secrets outlive the dead and familiar gestures of love offer little protection.

Behind closed doors, beneath a bridal veil, beside an empty stretch of road—the danger is closer than anyone wants to believe.

Five stories. One veil, lifted too late.
