BESTIARY MEETS THE DANGERS OF SMOKING IN BED IN THIS COLLECTION OF ELEVEN EERIE, UNCANNY, AND SURREAL SHORT STORIESMouth stretches reality to reach for truth. 
 
 
 
"Desiccation" follows a teen figure skater with necrophiliac fantasies who is convinced the other Indian girl at the rink is a vampire. When a woman returns to Kolkata in "The Fig Tree," she can't tell if she is haunted by her dead mother or a shakchunni—or both. "Nip" bottles up the consuming and addictive nature of infatuation, while "Natalya" is a hair-raising autopsy of an ex-lover. In "Persimmons," a girl comes to terms with her own community sacrifice. 
 
 
 
Full of fangs and talons, Mouth lays bare the otherwise awkward and unmentionable with a singular sharpness. Through surreal and captivating prose, Puloma Ghosh delves into otherworldly spaces to reimagine ordinary struggles of isolation, longing, and the aching desires of our flesh. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.
