Torn Flesh, Broken Bones: Silenced Before Sunrise (Book I)

About The Book

Torn Flesh, Broken Bones is a dark psychological horror thriller that moves between the present day and buried events from decades ago. Four young flatmates, Matthew, Baljot, Kabeer, and Swastika, travel from Mumbai to the quiet backwaters of Kumarakom, expecting nothing more than a peaceful break. Instead, they find themselves drawn into a disturbing world of old secrets, unexplained disappearances, violent deaths, and terrifying stories surrounding the mysterious Yakshi.

As the story shifts between past and present, forgotten relationships, betrayal, forbidden love, abuse, guilt, and the consequences of long buried actions begin to surface. The Yakshi becomes more than a frightening legend, blurring the boundaries between fear, perception, revenge, and reality.

Slow burning, disturbing, and relentlessly unsettling, this is a story where the past refuses to remain buried and where some consequences arrive years later.
