Song of Kali

The World Fantasy Award winner by the author of the Hyperion Cantos and Carrion Comfort : An American finds himself encircled by horrors in Calcutta . Praised by Dean Koontz as "the best novel in the genre I can remember," Song of Kali follows an American magazine editor who journeys to the brutally bleak, poverty-stricken Indian city in search of a manuscript by a mysterious poet—but instead is drawn into an encounter with the cult of Kali, goddess of death. A chilling voyage into the squalor and violence of the human condition, this novel is considered by many to be the best work by the author of The Terror , who has been showered with accolades, including the Bram Stoker Award, the International Horror Guild Award, and the Hugo Award.
