When In A Myth

Are you ready to step into a world where myths breathe and shadows tell stories?

 

When In A Myth is an anthology of short stories inspired by the folklores and bedtime tales passed down through generations. Stories we once heard in the safety of our homes now return with a chilling edge, revealing what lurks beneath their familiar faces.

 

Three college girls are roaming around Bhangarh—believed to be India’s most haunted site. Unaware of the curses, they end up listening to the stories from a priest. But it is after dusk and no one is allowed to stay behind at the fort. Will they make it out alive or are they destined for something darker?

 

Narayanrao is merely a teen caught up in the politics of power. After losing his brothers, he is at the mercy of his uncle and aunt. Will familial bonds rule over the greed of power? 

 

Each story uncovers a sinister new twist on India’s haunting historical myths—where tradition meets terror, and the past refuses to stay buried.

 

These aren’t just stories. They are warnings. And they are still haunting.
