The Peacock Died at Midnight

By Mr Dev Gurjar

A peacock lies dead in the courtyard. The moon watches silently. And somewhere between folklore and fear, truth waits to be uncovered.

In The Peacock Died at Midnight, Indian author Dev Gurjar delivers a masterfully written collection of 17 suspenseful crime stories steeped in folklore, ritual, and psychological intrigue. Set across ancient temples, remote villages, forgotten railways, and rain-soaked cities, each tale uncovers a hidden darkness buried in tradition.
From a widow who appears only on Platform 8...

To a banyan tree that remembers the dead...

To a tattoo that tells more than it should...

These stories unravel the eerie and unexplained, one whisper at a time.
For readers who enjoy literary thrillers, mystery with cultural depth, and standalone short stories that linger long after the last line-this book offers a journey into a world where the sacred meets the sinister.

Whether you're an Indian reader abroad seeking stories that feel like home, or an international reader intrigued by India's layered mysteries-The Peacock Died at Midnight will grip you from the first page.
