Sounds interesting! Just ordered a copy for £3, thanks for the recommendation. I've not read the book but it looks like he wrote The Terror. The TV series is great, really spooky. (Although the second season, based on a completely different story seems pretty shit so far).

Sounds interesting!
It's pretty grim in its description of Calcutta and various dark Hindu cults and Castes. A contemplation of humanity crowded in sprawling urban spaces, living on top of each other Vivid descriptions of the smells, noises and sounds as background to a terrifying tale.
Will check out the Terror

Dan Simmons Song of Kali is well dank. A page turner depicting Calcutta as the central character in a dark tale. Atmospheric
