A monster is on the loose. And it’s dressed to impress the posh South Delhi social scene.
Twenty-something Pia Bhandari has the ideal life – or so it seems. As long as she puts on a happy face, no one is any the wiser about the sinister voices in her head. Not her boyfriend Raghav, or her soon-to-be-married younger sister Khushi, her long-time psychiatrist Dr Agarwal, her father Ajit or even her mother Neeta, who is otherwise obsessed with controlling her daughter’s life.
But Pia’s demons follow her wherever she goes. One yellow-eyed demon in particular. Feral and bloodthirsty, it threatens to rip through Pia’s life, leaving a murderous trail in its wake. Hurtling between the opulent kothis of GK-2 and the plush bungalows of Sainik Farms, this twisted tale about a Delhi girl’s fight against the dark forces is about to get batshit.
Delhi girl, cat lady and zombie-novel-aficionado Kritika Kapoor currently lives in Pune and works as Assistant Editor for Delhi Times, Times of India. During her over a decade-long career at TOI, which includes a four-year stint as the editor of Goa Times, she has written about topics ranging from art and literature to cinema and pop culture.
Batshit is her first novel.
