A haunting in the Indian heartland ends with a priest’s violent death.

Enter Samir Grey—fiendishly intelligent, terminally unsociable and catastrophically human. No divine
visions, no lightning-shaped scar—just a mind that won’t quit and a tongue sharp enough to draw blood.
To uncover the truth, Samir must descend into a nightmare of uniquely Indian horrors: corpse-eating
vetalas, vengeful pishachs, ghouls, demons, and the most terrifying of all, bureaucracy and red tape.

Wickedly funny and blisteringly acerbic, The Waking Dead drags urban horror kicking and
screaming into small-town India, where folklore and reality bleed into each other—and the real monsters
may be the ones still breathing.
