HELLO READER,
The complete novella is coming soon to Kindle and Amazon (and, eventually, to your local bookshop or library if you request it!) so do not fret. It will be available this year, this very SUMMER 2026!
Dr. Kareem, a new doctor in London, lives in a flat that may collapse at any moment. The neighbours are vile and, worse than that, the smell- oh, that foul smell! It must be a dead animal, or mould or something blocked in the pipelines, surely? Or is it something else entirely? Something only a man, whose existence is hardly present in any provable records, could explain. A man who worked in shadow, desguised by his occupation, pushed away for his scent, cloaked by the night. Dr. Kareem, a man of Light- he likes to think of himself, begins to wonder if he should search for answers beyond science. In the dark.

The House That Whispers
It wasn't supposed to be a rescue. It wasn't even supposed to be real. A drunken dare. A reckless chase. A twisted game. Harry and his friends entered the house with one thought-to take what wasn't theirs. But the moment they crossed the threshold, the game turned against them. The doors locked. The walls shifted. Their desires became chains, their laughter swallowed by silence. At first, they thought it was a man-a monster lurking in the dark, toying with them. But the deeper they went, the more the truth clawed at their sanity. The house was alive. And it wanted them to suffer. Time unraveled. Lust turned to regret. Hunger turned to madness. Their mistakes tightened like a noose, and soon, Harry found himself losing more than just his way. He was losing them. And the house was still watching. Because no one leaves until it is done with them. The House That WhispersComplete
Midnight Mistress
"Sleep children or else the Midnight Mistress will capture you and lock you up inside her evil house." That's something all children of this small town near Karnataka grew up hearing instead of the standard warning of the boogeyman. The only difference is, unlike Boogeyman, there is a bunch of evidence regarding the existence of the Midnight Mistress. Some think she is a tale that the town's people came up with, but she is as real as you and me. This is the story of Tanuja Awasthi, one of the fortunate survivors who, along with her friend Jiya Samthan, escaped in one piece from the clutches of the evil spirit whose name is only enough to make anyone in the town running for their dear life. But what happens when the Midnight Mistress wants them back, or rather wants them dead? This story is purely fictional and any sort of resemblance to reality is absolutely coincidental.

The Trial
London 1888. The ripper is on the loose. Everyone despairs not knowing who hides behind the persona. Meanwhile four strangers lives intersect at this impossible moment in time. Each one of them carries a secret, the others cannot know. But time is precious and dirty business threatens to destroy their lives. What burdens do they carry? And how will Jack get to them all? Old summary: She loved his paintings. Always beautiful, a fever dream, red dots and black holes. Men on horses riding to the sunset or death as an angel before the Lord. He loved her but he did not understand how to love. He shivered at the thought, broke at the seams. And in the corners where the city lights could not fall no more, there he fell. The other one. He fell into a habit. Fell into blood. Fell into lust. Until he reached nirvana. ▪FinishedComplete
