A time when the ghost that came to rest on the one-lane road in the dark evening, the ghost that hid in the backyard like a thunder light in the middle of the night, and the Yakshi that came to the window in the middle of the night and gnashed its teeth, was a time of terror across the village. At that time there was no electricity in many places in Kerala. In the darkness came many mysterious creatures. There were many stories about them. Those stories spread among the innocent people of the good countryside. Those are the stories in this book. Any Malayalee who loves nostalgia will love this book.
