Seven Indian authors. Seven stories of the eerie, the gruesome, the demonic, and the melty.

Ever watched a girl you barely know get eaten alive by murder hornets in the mess hall? Ever spoken to a dead guy who came home to tell you about the demon who killed him? Ever had your lover abducted by a bogeyman riding a kohl-black rooster the size of an autorickshaw? Ever tried to reconstitute your best friend after he was melted down in a softie machine?

If you've never had any of these experiences... have you even travelled? There are exotic manifolds hovering close around you, and even stranger realms that lurk within.

The Bandigoat will take you there.

Don't think twice. Blink thrice.

by Gautamiputra Kamble
translated from the Marathi by Sirus J. Libeiro

176 pages.

The seekers in these stories travel through worlds both ancient and modern, worlds of symbol and fantastical allegory, on their paths to greater truth.

The state of Maharashtra is famous for its ancient Buddhist cave complexes. It's also known as the birthplace of leaders in the struggle against caste oppression: Jyotirao and Savitribai Phule in the early 1800s, and B. R. Ambedkar in 1891. It is here that Dr. Ambedkar, architect of the Indian constitution and warrior against the practice of untouchability, led marches for the right of Dalit people to draw water from community wells, to enter temples, to live with dignity.

The Seekers consists of five stories that hold Phule-Ambedkarite thought at their core, weaving together the history of ideological conflict, the pursuit of the artistic excellence, and the unquenchable human thirst for freedom. The book tells of ancient revelations, of flood and fire, of vast deadly deserts, of people turned to stone.

It is a unique work of anti-caste Marathi literature that feels both timeless and sparklingly new.

\"...Gautamiputra’s stories shun the beaten path, chart their own course, and leave indelible footprints for others to follow\" —Raja Dhale (1940-2019), writer and activist, co-founder of the Dalit Panthers

India’s cityscapes are a typography lover’s paradise. Take a short walk in any urban neighbourhood and you’ll find signboards in a riot of languages, styles, materials, and colours, spanning decades of design history. So far, this enviable living typographic archive has survived on the fringes. And as digital printing technologies become more popular, we risk losing its handmade, creative essence. That’s where this book comes in.

$\"\"$

INDIA STREET LETTERING is a 200-page full-colour book by Pooja Saxena showcasing striking public lettering from the country—in paint, in relief, in mosaic, in neon, in wood, you name it. Spanning over a dozen cities and scripts, it will be a visual treat!

$\"\"$

Photographs of signs will be complemented by essays and interviews that locate them within the broad sweep of language, culture and typography. Pooja will break down peculiarities of local scripts, analyse sign painting styles, and shine a light on visual idiosyncrasies that define street lettering in different Indian cities. She is also creating guide maps for the book, which will inspire you to go type-spotting next time you visit one of the featured neighbourhoods.

by Appupen

Paperback; 276 pp

Copies from the first printing, 2018: New, but with slight signs of age

Publisher: Harper-Collins

Life as we knew it in Halahala is at an end. A new age is dawning. In the Grey of the wastelands, giant towers house machines that keep a diminished, diminutive human race alive on lotus milk. If humans and machines continue unchecked in their ways, nature – existence itself – will be under siege. As the Silent Green calls out to all of life, one being hears and is compelled to act. He seeks out allies, among them a human girl who has not forgotten the old connections. Will they be able to revive Halahala, recapture the idea of life as one interconnected whole?

Appupen’s masterful art and vivid myth-building combine in this blistering indie take on the superhero comic.

by Sumit Kumar

Hardcover; 162 pages.

Publisher: Bakarmax

A no-holds-barred satirical comic book on the history of the radical left in India's Red Corridor.

In newly independent India -- where food production is at an all time low, zamindars control the farms, Nehru is dead, and the coalition government is headed for the wall -- a tiny village in West Bengal plays host to an uprising. From Naxalbari, the story travels back and forth in time, from pre-independence Hyderabad to post-independence Andhra Pradesh... and finally to the jungles of Dandkaranya (Bastar and the surrounding regions) where the sparks of Naxalbari grew into the fire that impacts India and its people today.

\"Sumit Kumar’s comic was the first of its kind—it not only dares to portray the serious topic of the Naxal and communist uprising through the verbal and visual interaction of the comic mode but also experiments with a wide array of styles and techniques in the text, thereby injecting the necessary dosage of plurality that could go into the making of an Indian comic. By amalgamating the present political events with those of the past, by invoking classics as well as pop-culture and its icons, by mixing colourful pages with stark blacks and whites, among his many binaries, Kumar creates a scathing, tragic-comic narrative that almost borders on the absurd..\" --Antarleena Basu

\"Though executed with endearing, colourful illustrations, this is no historical retelling for children. A satirical take on the political history of the country, this book is truly a step towards understanding our roots and history.\" --Bangalore Mirror

\"...Blaft does it again! Gujarati Pulp Fiction is a showstopper, full of thrills and chills... as well as startling feats of science, enchantment, and feminine wiles. Vishwambhari S. Parmar's translations are hip and fun and bring alive the pulpy goodness of the original tales. There are also many not-to-be-missed extras, such as fascinating author bios, original illustrations, and 'jokelates' from original editions. I was riveted, astonished, mesmerized!\" —Daisy Rockwell, Booker-award-winning translator of Tomb of Sand

A rollicking, rip-roaring ride through the world of Gujarati pulp! This collection of short stories and novellas from Gujarat's bestselling adventure, horror, and mystery writers was funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign in Jan-Feb 2024.

The anthology includes Kaal Kundali by H.N. \"Atom\" Golibar, known for his supernatural-tinged crime thrillers; Varunlokma by Bansidhar Shukla, which features genetically-altered mermen in a secret undersea empire; two stories by Ekta Nirav Doshi, famous for her folk horror about khavis and haunted forts; Bar Dancer by Vibhavari Verma, a revenge fantasy set in the Mumbai underworld (read an excerpt of the translation here!); and a story by Kanu Baghdev, one of the most prolific Gujarati writers of all time.

In addition, the book features a section of colour plates with a gallery of cover art, as well as original black-and-white art for Kaal Kundali by prolific Gujarati magazine illustrator G. Sandhwani.

Zine by MATRATYPE (Pooja Saxena)

Signages on hand-painted, glazed tiles abound in the streets of Panjim as a striking visual reminder of Portuguese influence in India’s smallest state. The first zine of the series puts the spotlight on these distinctive signs.

India Street Lettering zines celebrate the diversity of letterforms on signages in India’s streets. Like turns of a kaleidoscope, they illuminate patterns—established and unexpected—to expand our understanding of typographic forms and styles, and conventions for their use.

About the author:

An award-winning typeface designer, lettering artist and typographer, POOJA SAXENA divides her time between being a team member at TypeTogether, and her own independent practice, Matra Type.

At Matra Type, her work focuses on design in and for Indic scripts, notably Devanagari, and studying typographic visual languages that emerge in India. She is a devoted collector of ephemera and chronicler of street lettering, and writes a newsletter about type and design curiosities called I Spy with my Typographic Eye.

Zine by MATRATYPE (Pooja Saxena)

Kolkata holds a special place in India’s film history—the first dedicated cinema was built here. Even though that has been long-demolished, there are still many cinemas here whose signage can whet your typographic appetite.

India Street Lettering zines celebrate the diversity of letterforms on signages in India’s streets. Like turns of a kaleidoscope, they illuminate patterns—established and unexpected—to expand our understanding of typographic forms and styles, and conventions for their use.
