The Submerged Valley and Other Stories
Manoj Das
“Manoj Das is one of those writers who can express in simple language items of considerable importance while entertaining you, while making you laugh or cry, happy or sad. Manoj Das is a rare person in today’s world,” wrote John Harvey in The British Fantasy Society Bulletin.
How far is the supernatural from the natural, or the invisible from the visible? A story like “The Bridge in the Moonlit Night” or “Farewell to a Ghost” or “Friends and Strangers” inspires a sense of wonder on the issue—and unwittingly but lovingly we are escorted into a realm that is as unreal as the moonlight or the rainbow, and as real!
But there is even much more to this collection—the 3rd in the trilogy of short stories by the master story-teller: “Pundit pomposity is enjoyably pricked by Manoj Das”, as The Sunday Times (London) said way back in 1971, becomes prominently evident in several stories either subtly, or sadly or hilariously—but always unforgettably.
