The Collected Works of S. Mukerji: Indian Ghost Stories and The Mysterious Traders

The Five Senses of Horror

(Click above for full cover wrap)

THE COLLECTED WORKS OF S. MUKERJI

Active only between the years 1913–1921, the enigmatic author S. Mukerji published just two works of fiction: a serialized detective thriller The Mysterious Traders and a collection of haunting tales set in British colonial India, Indian Ghost Stories.

It is Indian Ghost Stories in particular that has kept S. Mukerji’s name relevant over 100 years later for compiling spooky and weird fiction, supernatural sightings, South Asian lore, and historic accounts into a rich fusion of dark and fantastic narrative.

For as deft a hand as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle or Rudyard Kipling were at mystery, gothic, and tales of otherworldly phenomenon, S. Mukerji has left his own indelible mark in the pantheon of British Raj ghost tales.

Now, for the first time, both Indian Ghost Stories and The Mysterious Traders have been combined into one volume in this beautifully presented showcase by Dark Moon Books!

Also included within are:

• Introduction by bestselling author K. Hari Kumar

• Annotations by award-winning editor Eric J. Guignard

• Illustrations, corrected text, reading list, and more!

Open yourself to THE COLLECTED WORKS OF S. MUKERJI, and to all that is weird, ghostly, and wonderous!
