Ten cuts from the other side: A short story collection

By Ms. Ankita K.

In a world that often silences pain, this collection lets it speak-honestly and without apology.

Ten Cuts from the Other Side gathers ten unsettling short stories that navigate the landscapes of trauma, vengeance, memory, and silence. Through a haunting blend of psychological horror and metaphor, Ankita K. in her debut collection, crafts narratives where the most terrifying monsters are not always otherworldly-but often intimate, familiar, and human.

A grieving woman's soul is dragged into a plate of seasoned meat. A child's lipstick becomes a virus that rewrites the body. A mother poisons the stairs with the calm precision of someone who's sense of right and wrong is warped. And in a future of fractured timeline, a daughter is turned into a weapon as the world collapses under the weight of its own cruelty.

These stories don't aim to shock for the sake of it. They examine the damage quietly done-by families, by systems, by love that curdled too long.

This isn't horror to escape from. It's horror to face.
