Eight Stories. Eight Kinds of Dying.
Vermillion Red: Stories from the Dead House is Subhashis Deb's debut collection. Eight dark, often brutal, genre-crossing stories united by the looming shadow of the same fate that none of us escape.
A hitman lying still under floorboards while his accomplice paces the perimeter. A woman who knows that she has three days left to live. A city with dead gods and lost humans. And a murderer's confession staged as theatre.
Welcome to the Dead House. Everybody checks in. Not everybody check out.
