Title: Great atmospheric horror
Review: This book takes you on a trip straight into the hellhole that is Calcutta. Although the book has some great supernatural elements (quite reminiscent of Lovecraft), it is the real life occurrences that are most creepy. Simmons depicts the utter depravity and morbidity of Calcutta with such verve, such immediacy, that you feel as if you are with him in the dark alleys and crowded plazas, surround by scarred and diseased beggars and knowing that one more murder in this city wouldn't make one hell of a difference. If you like quick, intense horror then give this book a read.
