Petni Samagra by Various Authors [Hardcover]

For the Love of Ghostly Women: A Unique Anthology of Female Spirits

Over the past 150 years, many luminary writers of Bengali literature have explored various facets of the supernatural. From Hemendra Kumar Roy, Tarashankar Bandyopadhyay, and Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay to Harinarayan Chattopadhyay, Manoj Sen, Manabendra Pal, and Manjil Sen, they have all contributed to this genre.

This book brings together stories that centre around female apparitions - those we commonly refer to as petni, shakchunni, witches, and other such entities.

"Petni Samagra" is a unique compilation of tales featuring ghostly women. To the best of our knowledge, no such anthology has been published in the Bengali literary market before.

Additionally, many of the stories in this collection are previously unpublished or long out of print. Even those that were once included in other books have become rare, as those books have not been in circulation for years. This makes Petni Samagra a rare and valuable addition for lovers of Bengali ghost stories.
