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:
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:
Adored this book when I read it as a university student. Wonder how it'll hold up.
Choose a passive-aggressive number of books that shaped you. Even if you are indifferent to or despise them now. No explanations.

Really need to get my hands on this, even in colour I thought it was a hoot, but I love all the B&W screenshots I've seen.
If only all the kids who made fun of me for having the poster on my wall back in 95 could see me now, alone and watching it in B&W. Can’t overstate how hard this version goes. More ready than ever to join the Lo-Teks.

ICYMI; you should be able to read this flash piece of mine here without a paywall (it's not really about 'beasts that have come to take revenge on the human world' despite the copy):

I found the ep in PLURIBUS where Carol--white, American--meets 5 non-white, non-American survivors of the hivemind off-putting, but in a way that made me curious to see where Gilligan was going. Now that I have, I wrote about how empire, privilege, genAI, & resistance converge in the show's subtext:
Resisting the Hivemind: Pluribus, Generative AI, and Empire - Reactor
While its creator tell us that Pluribus is not about advent of generative AI, it's difficult not to spot the many places where the fledgling tech and extraterrestrial hivemind overlap.

IN YOUR SKIN is a body horror comic based in Bollywood, emerging from my love-hate relationship with Hindi movies. This is a story I’ve wanted to tell for ages, and I’m excited to do it with an artist whose work I’ve admired for a very long time.
