The Couple at the Lake House is a twisted, page-turning psychological thriller that will keep you questioning every smile, every secret, every fidelity until the very end.
‘My story showed what I wanted, and left out the ugly truth.’
Sidney, a bestselling author, is spiralling after a nervous meltdown.
After a sold-out reading, she settles down for dinner with her fiancé. But Cole, a former paramour, approaches them, his new girlfriend in tow. Against her better judgement, they agree to join the couple.
Then comes an unexpected offer: a getaway at Cole’s lake house.
At first, it’s picture-perfect—two couples laughing, tipping over glasses of wine. But why do the smiles feel taut, rehearsed?
A lake house. Old flames. New enemies. Deadly games.
As she senses danger closing in, Sidney must decide how far she’s willing to go to escape—because walking away was never part of the plan, was it?
James Caine delivers another shocking tale of love lost and found, and the games people play when no one’s watching.

In his escapades, Feluda is accompanied by his cousin Topshe and the bumbling crime writer Lalmohan Ganguly (Jatayu).

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.
Before Draupadi, there was Hidimbi. The first, the eldest Pandava daughter-in-law—a status denied to her through her life, through the years, down the centuries. She remains the forgotten wife, the forgotten queen, the forgotten woman, in the Mahabharata.
Hidimbi was a demoness by birth and a queen by right. In the shadows of the great Indian epic, she stands alone. She saved Bhima. She bore his son. She stood by the family that killed her brother. And when the call of war came, she sacrificed her only child—Ghatotkacha, the first Pandava grandson—for a cause that never truly embraced her.
Why was her story never told? Was it because she was a rakshasi, or because the heroes of the epic could do no wrong?
This powerful reimagining gives voice to Hidimbi and her story of love and betrayal, strength and sacrifice.
Discover the enchanting bird legends of the Himalayas—stories that soar beyond time.
When Birds Talked by Neha Negi is a lyrical and beautifully illustrated collection of folklore that reimagines the myths of Himalayan birds. Drawing on Uttarakhand’s rich oral traditions, these tales trace the origins of birds such as the Himalayan Monal, Fire-capped Tit, Spotted Forktail and many others—bringing alive stories of transformation, longing and resilience.
Through dramatic storytelling and hand-painted illustrations, Negi creates an enchanting tapestry that connects mythology, ecology, and human imagination. At its heart, the book is an ode to the deep bonds between people and nature, a celebration of vanishing traditions, and a call to protect the fragile ecosystems of the Himalayas.
Blending myth, art and reflections on the environment, When Birds Talked is as much a preservation of cultural heritage as it is a modern eco-fable for readers of all ages.
In the lost Archipelago of Kumarikandam, ruled queen Devi when an alien invasion sets forth on the Earth.

As the premonitions of Aggatiar, the sage comes to life, Devi is now faced with an intergalactic war with Mahishasura and his army to save her kingdom.
Set 70,000 years ago, Mahishasura is an ultimate ode to the supreme energy mentioned in the Devi Purana. An exploration of the feminine form of parashakti, in the world of Anand Neelakandan, science, technology and AI clashes with the long-lost tales from the puranas retelling Indian mythology for the modern readers.
Rushdie turns his extraordinary imagination to life’s final act with a quintet of stories that span the three countries in which he has made his work—India, England, and the US—and feature an unforgettable cast of characters.
“In the South” introduces a pair of quarrelsome old men—Junior and Senior—and their private tragedy at a moment of national calamity. In “The Musician of Kahani”, a musical prodigy from the Mumbai neighborhood featured in Midnight’s Children uses her magical gifts to wreak devastation on the wealthy family she marries into. In “Late”, the ghost of a Cambridge don enlists the help of a lonely student to enact revenge upon the tormentor of his lifetime. “Oklahoma” plunges a young writer into a web of deceit and lies as he tries to figure out whether his mentor killed himself or faked his own death. And “The Old Man in the Piazza” is a powerful parable for our times about freedom of speech.
Do we accommodate ourselves to death, or rail against it? Do we spend our “eleventh hour” in serenity or in rage? And how do we achieve fulfillment with our lives if we don’t know the end of our own stories? The Eleventh Hour ponders life and death, legacy and identity with the penetrating insight and boundless imagination that have made Salman Rushdie one of the most celebrated writers of our time.
