ICYMI, my mythic realist novella about a boy coming of age in an extended family who may refugees from another reality, in a house in Calcutta that may be a dragons' nest. It won a British Fantasy Award and a Subjective Chaos Kind of Award, if that affects one's inclination to read it:

Out now: THE LAST DRAGONERS OF BOWBAZAR, my uncategorisable novella out about Ru, a 'boy from nowhere' growing up in 90s/00s Calcutta, facing the impossibility that his family may be migrants from another reality, & Alice, a neighbour from Chinatown who is pulled close to their secrets. Links below:

Cover of my novella The Last Dragoners of Bowbazar, painted by Tran Nguyen, showing a 'dragoner' of uncertain gender in colourful robes and a veil and headscarf, showing their eyes, long black hair flying, as they hold the neck of a dragon swooping down on their shoulder, its colouring white and speckled with varying shades of scarlet and burnt orange like the petals of a flower. Text reads the title of the novella, and my name (Indra Das).

When I warn normies about this they look at me like I'm unhinged (to be fair, I am), but when the bank of england does it...well, I'm curious about what their reaction is. Will they finally wake the fuck up.

“Concerns over an AI bubble bursting have grown lately, with analysts recently finding that it’s 17 times the size of the dotcom-era bubble and four times bigger than the 2008 financial crisis.”

Hang onto your butts. This “correction” is gonna hurt.

Because their media and supporters know it's a fake narrative, and don't care--their intent is to get Indian Muslims dead or out of the country using the narrative. Even if immigrants/refugees were coming into the country in vast numbers, they're not 'infiltrators', but nazis will nazi.
