NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POSTOn a cool evening in Kolkata, India, beneath a full moon, as the whirling rhythms of traveling musicians fill the night, college professor Alok encounters a mysterious stranger with a bizarre confession and an extraordinary story. Tantalized by the man?s unfinished tale, Alok will do anything to hear its completion. So Alok agrees, at the stranger?s behest, to transcribe a collection of battered notebooks, weathered parchments, and once-living skins.From these documents spills the chronicle of a race of people at once more than human yet kin to beasts, ruled by instincts and desires blood-deep and ages-old.
