The Raj in Ghostly Light

Step into the shadowed, haunted corridors of British India, where every bungalow, dak house, and jungle outpost holds a terrifying secret with The Raj in Ghostly Light, edited by B.C. Dutt!

About the Book: When the sun sets on the British Empire, the ghosts begin to speak. The Raj in Ghostly Light is the chilling first installment in a series of supernatural tales set in colonial India, where everyday objects, lonely railway lines, and isolated hill stations become the sites of inexplicable and uncanny encounters.

Gathering classic ghostly tales from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries by masters of the macabre and colonial chroniclers—including Rudyard Kipling, Alice Perrin, B.M. Croker, Flora Annie Steel, Arthur Conan Doyle, S. Mukerji, and more—this collection explores footsteps in empty rooms, omens of death, cursed heirlooms, and restless spirits. Beneath the veneer of imperial confidence lies a profound dread, guilt, and feverish madness. Atmospheric, eerie, and richly evocative, this volume opens a door into a past that refuses to stay buried.
