Taranath Tantrik (তারানাথ তান্ত্রিক)

Collection of short Supernatural Tales. The narrator of these tales is Taranath Tantrik, a mystic figure and practitioner of occult. He is an astrologer by profession and had many encounters with the weird in his extensive travels. He shares these experiences with a few friends in his Mott lane house over cups of tea and cigarettes. Taradas Bandyopadhyay's father, the legendary literati Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay created the character 'Taranath Tantrik', but he wrote only a couple of short stories featuring him. Those two tales are however not part of this collection.
