The Supernatural: Haunting Tales of Lucknow [Hardcover]

About The Book: The city of Lucknow has always been steeped in history and continues to enjoy the tag of being a heritage city. However, with its tragic history of wars, massacres, mass executions and hurriedly buried dead bodies, (often without proper rites or graves), during 1857, it is not surprising that there should be several accounts of supernatural hauntings. This book is a collection of 12 short stories and one novella, based on 13 Lucknow-based ghostly occurrences. It is a work of "historical fiction" - the historical part being meticulously researched and presented, after thorough checks and counter-checks for the sake of accuracy, and then the narrative part, which has its origins from urban legends and local folklore. However, all ghostly phenomena need not be confined to sites of bloody warfare. Ghostly activity can also occur in a modern day apartment complex. It is another matter that the apartment might have been illegally built by some unscrupulous developer over a former, disused graveyard.
