Patashgarer Jangale by Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay [Hardcover]

A dense, impenetrable jungle—both deep and terrifying. Before entering, one can smell the scent of a tiger. But it’s not just tigers; countless ferocious creatures inhabit this jungle.

It’s not just the animals that pose a threat; even daring hunters fear to enter the mysterious jungle of Potashgarh for another reason. Rumor has it that there are entities within the jungle whose names should not be spoken during daylight.

In the heart of the jungle lies a fort surrounded by quicksand. At night, people say they see lights in the fort and hear the sound of a dinner bell. However, these are merely tales. No one has ever verified what truly exists in the impenetrable jungle of Potashgarh—whether it’s a fort or its ruins, ghosts or living beings.

This time, a boy, a mere scorpion of a lad, enters the jungle. He has no choice but to go in. How he entered and what experiences he had form the basis of this thrilling novel, filled with suspense, humor, and a touch of science fiction. The cover of the book is designed by Debashish Dev.
