A dead wife who appears in a photograph, a major’s ill-fated lease, a door that will not stay shut, a boy possessed, a messenger of death: S. Mukerji collects tales of the uncanny from Indian and Anglo-Indian life in the early twentieth century. His preface insists these are not stories where the ghost turns out to be a monkey, and he tells them plainly as things that happened.
