  • 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

  • That description reminds me of The City and The City by China Miéville. No idea if that's an accurate comparison though.
