Author Biography

Vadhan writes dark, high-intensity thrillers rooted in Indian mythology. His stories explore the fault lines between faith and power, myth and memory, science and the unseen — blending ancient cosmology with modern suspense in narratives that are both atmospheric and rigorously researched.
Drawing on years of engagement with mythic texts and contemporary thought, his novels reinterpret sacred narratives through a speculative and psychological lens.
Author of multiple mythology-based thrillers, Vadhan continues to build an interconnected mythic universe for readers who enjoy layered storytelling along with moral complexity.

ER-B

Three hundred years into the future…

Mohit woke up to the pain. His stomach… torn asunder. Inside out. The weight inside like a living thing, moving down from his belly to his groin. A low mewl escaped his mouth, through clenched teeth and drawn lips. The bright lights glaring down at him only increased his sense of disorientation. The male nurses, all in white, holding his legs apart. Some sor

“In that year began the tragic bookending of the Indian debate on secularism with two unspeakable pogroms. From that time onwards the 1984 riots in Delhi that took place on Rajiv Gandhi’s watch and the 2002 Gujarat riots that took place on Narendra Modi’s watch would be used to checkmate one another in what might be called the chessboard of competitive communalism.
