Warned Mahtab Narsimhan

From the award-winning author of The Third Eye, Valley of the Rats, and Mission Mumbai comes the first in a spine-tingling series of diverse scary stories from around the world, perfect for young readers (8-12+) of Paola Santiago and the River of Tears, The Jumbies, and Goosebumps.

12-year-old city boy Avi just got dumped at a crumbling mansion in rural India while his parents are away on a medical mission. No Wi-Fi. No cell signal. No company besides a grandfather he barely knows and his sinister servant. The only glimmer of excitement on the horizon is when an astrologer at the local fair predicts Avi is about to die a horrible death.

Of course, that's just superstitious nonsense. But when the astrologer's dire predictions start to come true one by one, Avi fears his time may be running out. He's too young to die! Can he trust mysterious town outcast, Lalita, to help solve the mystery of the ominous prophecies before his own untimely death?

Eerie Tales from the East brings you scary stories from around the world with a contemporary twist. Each story in the series can be read as a standalone and highlights a myth, superstition, or ghost story from an Asian country, set amidst the complexities of the modern world. Ordinary characters must rise to extraordinary challenges or risk losing the ones they love in these chilling and fast-paced novels with heart for 8-12+ year old fans of Goosebumps, Scare Street, and Five Nights at Freddy's.
