A Sort of Homecoming- The Deodar Prize Vol III

Tigers can be pets. The government can snatch your home. A midlife crisis can land you, fully clothed, into a swimming pool. From a vengeful goddess, to a vomiting rice cooker, these stories carefully tread the ordinary alongside the fantastic.

Short stories, like dreams, are visceral, vivid, and hard to reconstruct; yet, each bite leaves a distinct flavour on the tongue.

Sweet. Sour. Salty. Spicy. Umami.

Pick yours.
