More Description

In this book, trying to avoid repetitions, I have tried mostly to journey into the milieu of afterlife, dreams, and other insubstantial dominions where many other writers have already tried with successful results. The reason I crafted some of my short stories in this realm is the fluidity of the astral world like in Paradiso, The Terminal, and The Bridge of Judgement. I have also tried to discover some other dimensions such as dreamworld in Nightmare, and mystical fantasy in A Traveler¿s Deity. The limitations of the physical world restrict the writer and makes it difficult to construct a believable milieu, yet in science fiction and fantasy the story world becomes fluid again and the writer can freely craft the plot through scientific theories and magical medium like in Terminator, Encounter, and Mutation. I have tried to juxtapose the world of fantasy and science fiction in The Rug, New Year, and Transit. The Tower, and The Last Wish are Horror, and Dahaka is based on an epic poem. I have concluded the book with a few memoir that starts with Punishment in the genre of magical realism; Bleed, Miracle Fabricator, and Backfire as critique to old traditions, and superstitions; and finally, The Misunderstanding as a Comedy. Regardless of the variety in the milieus, most of the stories have been plotted to take the readers on a suspenseful or transcendental journey unfolding with an astounding resolution. I hope you enjoy reading this entertaining book.
