Blaft has a table at Bombay Zine Fest, Candie's Cafe in Bandra, Nov 22-24!!! image
We had a setting wrong on our website, so it was charging customers shipping when they pre-ordered the Gujarati Pulp Fiction ebook. Now fixed! Order up some vintage science fiction and supernatural terror from Western India! image
"With his passing, we lost a man who was in constant amazement of our traditions and tales, which kept him going till his last breath." Peer Mohammed Azeez on Indra Soundar Rajan
Gujarati Pulp Fiction is off to print!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 @vishwambhari.bsky.social has put together a brilliant collection, from rollicking revenge fantasy to atmospheric sci-fi to supernatural murderfests to a cute romance between a Gujarati scientist and a lady from Saturn! image
Just learned that Indra Soundar Rajan has passed away. He was a big support in starting our company... Took us to sign our very first author agreement on the Sangam stone at Meenakshi Amman Temple. He basically created a whole genre of supernatural thrillers by himself. Rest in peace! image

Working on final proofreads and endnote checking for Gujarati Pulp Fiction. Anyone have any idea what "methia" means? Not the masala or the pickle, but a dish on its own? Apparently some snack popular in Baroda?
