Chigaru by Trijit Kar [Paperback]

"Listen, listen, men, hear this tale of sorrow,
No child survives in this village tomorrow.
Every year, when darkness calls,
It awakens—
Hear the beating drums,
It comes, it comes..."

Nestled in the dense jungles at the foothills of Panchakot in Purulia lies the village of Chalsia. Here, during a special Chhau dance ritual, young children are brutally mutilated. But why?

The villagers fear even whispering its name thrice. What exactly is Chigaru? Why does no one in the village dare to stay awake for three weeks after the Gorukhuta festival?

Legends speak of Chindara, hidden beneath Panchakot Hill—a place where the fires of hell burn eternally. What happens when Chigaru lures its victims into Chindara? Why has no one ever returned?

Budhaditya came to Chalsia from Kolkata to visit his ancestral home, accompanied by his cousins. But never in his worst nightmares did he imagine the terrifying fate that awaited them.

What happens when Chigaru invites them into its sinister game?
What happens when the Age of Darkness begins in Chalsia?

To uncover the truth, dive into Chigaru!, Tridjit Kar's spine-chilling horror fantasy novel—following Akhida and Jhumni!
