Hi, I’m Karthik Ramchandran. I like to call myself a storyteller rather than an author or novelist—those are titles I believe take time and dedication to truly earn. Aandhai is my first horror series, and this is its debut book, though it’s my second published work. Outside of writing, I work in risk assessment, helping to protect bank customers’ data and funds from cyber threats. I live in Bangalore with my wonderful wife, Ramya, my biggest supporter. Thank you for picking up this book; I hope it keeps you turning the pages long into the night. You can reach out to me at kar.ranade@gmail.com or connect with me on Instagram @kar.ranade —I’d love to hear from you! Cheers!
