Merlin Senthil is a filmmaker and author known for his original fantasy stories, often inspired by Indian folklore, and for being a champion of raw and authentic Christian storytelling. He has penned the words behind countless viral videos and has multiple scripts in various stages of production.

DEAR TO SATURN is my debut novel and currently viral on social media. It blends Indian mythology, romance, and philosophy in a fast-paced thriller plot. I'm hope to get translations and an audiobook soon due to high demand.

I am working on more books and shopping around my various screenplays.

I also produce content on YouTube and Substack.

Thanks for supporting me! I still in the process of making my dreams come true. Praise God for his kindness in b

Great mystery with some great twists and turns, a smart protagonist who was fun to unravel the truth with. Sometimes she did some dumb things, but overall? Enjoyed taking this dark journey with her.

Never have I loved the jungle more. Also—Rikki-tikki anybody? I wish more of the stories were directly connected to the Jungle and Mowgli, but thematically, of course, they are. First time reading the book!

Quotes by Merlin Senthil  (?)

“It is Life laughing at Evil—one of my favorite jokes—that something broken, then mended, is somehow made more whole than it was to begin with. In such things, good is doubled by wonder.”
― Merlin Senthil, Dear to Saturn

“Yes, to answer your question, it’s like how your father lifted you onto his shoulders to see what you could not, to see what he saw—through his eyes. If he would’ve lifted you even higher, into the heights of his heart, and told you what I’ve told you about your grandmother, you could’ve seen with his eyes even more clearly. Time is different here in many ways, but the slowness is to help you see with my eyes, to lift you up so you can see what you otherwise could not. You mentioned food; there is no urgency here to eat or earn money or sleep. For fear of losing those things, many have rushed through life and overlooked all that I have wanted them to see. There is a greater force than fear here that drives our time, and it is unconcerned with twists and turns in the road, pit stops, and even turning around here and there to glimpse what we’ve missed. What many see as delays are life’s greatest delights to me.”
― Merlin Senthil, Dear to Saturn

“Humor can bring healing where there is much pain”
― Merlin Senthil, Dear to Saturn
